Please note: All sheet music provided in LAGA Flamenco is for reference only. In our Flamenco video curriculum, we follow the time-honored method that Flamenco guitarists have used throughout the history of the art. Traditionally, Flamenco guitarists learn by listening to the teacher closely, observing his every movement, listening closely to the sound produced by the teacher's hands, then imitating those movements--the goal being to faithfully reproduce his sound. Unfortunately, written materials--such as tabs, scores/sheet music--actually get in the way of this process. Hence, we do not recommend the use of written material in your Flamenco guitar studies. These sheet music materials are provided as transitional supplements to assist those students with a classical background and do not reflect all the aspects of Flamenco guitar playing.
Our Flamenco curriculum progresses in a logical, step-by-step fashion. Each skill builds upon the ones previously mastered. The curriculum is designed to take students from the simplest drills to the most advanced levels. It is a gradual process that takes great patience on the part of the student--but is well worth the wait.
If you would like to focus on the written aspects of guitar music, we would suggest our classical course, LAGA Classical. Our classical course incorporates some skills, such as rasgueados, which are used in Flamenco music, but also incorporates sheet music, scales, and drills in its method. Many students have found that studying the classical guitar enhances their technique on the Flamenco guitar, as well as many other styles.
* Scordatura notation is used throughout in order to simplify the pitch notation with the use of capodastro (capo). For example, the first note (E) of this study would be played as the open sixth string, regardless of which fret on which the capo is placed. Because the capo is on the third fret, however, you are actually playing a G when you pluck the open sixth string.
