If offers excellent instruction that help build foundation in techniques such as rasgueados, tremolos and etc. Serrano's rasgeado technique is probably one of the hardest to master, however with great effort and lots of practice, you will discover your fingers can move faster than you ever realize." -- Leng Widjaja from Fresno, CA, September 30, 2005 Nice Book " This is a good flamenco book. Nice excercises, that include scale practices, rasguedo technique, pulgar(thumb) techniques, among others. It is a good introduction to the Flamenco style, as it introduces some of the major forms of flamenco such as rumba, bulerias, sevillianas etc. It also has a cool take on the classic, Romanza, by infusing it with the Rumba style.
