Manuel Granados - Guitarra
Flamenca - Vol. 4
- Book and CD. Written in both English

Accompaniente to the Cante. This aspect of Flamenco
requires a special methodology for a mutual understanding between the guitarist
and the “cantaor” (singer),
this in turn enabling the harmonious development of the style with artistic
expression. For this reason, in
this volume we find the accompaniment to the cante separated out into three
tracks: the first, in order to
understand what must result in the accompaniment and to achieve stylistic
assimilation, the second with
only the guitar, to study how guitar style changes during its development and
the third, in order to practice
the accompaniment, only the voice of the “cantaor” is heard. Finishing up with
the basic styles examined
in Volume Three and introducing el Acompañamiento al Cante (accompaniment to
singing): Siguiriyas,
Solea, Tientos, Fandango Natural, Granaina, Malaguena.(Cantaor: Pepín de
Torre).

Martin Carthy - British Fingerstyle
Guitar - DVD - Martin Carthy has forged his own
per-
sonal and unusual approach to fingerstyle guitar. He has developed his own tunings and
right hand techni-
ques to enable him to play British traditional folk music. This body of music is rooted in
a vocal tradition of
hundreds of years as well as a strong dance culture. It is not bound by any time or bar
structure. The guitarist
must find ways to explore, accent and embellish these melodies. Martin has successfully
done this with the
CGCDGA tuning. He plays with a heavy percussive attack reminiscent of a country bluesman
and the gritty
rhythm of a diatonic accordion player. He has a unique sense of phrasing and a strong
emotional and atmos-
pheric feel for his music. In this video lesson, Martin explains in detail his playing
techniques and style for
seven of his most popular arrangements. Titles include: "Old Tom of Oxford, The
Heroes of St. Valery, The
Siege Of Delhi, La Cardeuse, McVeagh, The Harry Lime Theme, Seven Yellow
Gypsies".
