I just ordered your book. As a side note, I was watching a documentary about the people in and around the two families of the Gypsy Kings. There was a very young girl dancing and a young boy on the guitar. She stopped and said: "Just play the compas." Yes, it is that important.
Ha, well it's just over a week using this book now and I give it top marks!!! Excellent! I'm studying Tangos from the beginning and the book starts with REALLY easy compas 1. So I drilled that in and repeated it so I could play it without thinking. Did the same with compas 2 & 3 and then on to the first Remate. Seems to be working :-) The videos are an essential help too and love the option for the slower versions. When I hear Joonas play an "odd timing" to my ears I can go to the slow version and watch carefully. A-haa! Got it. This book is a must have for any flamenco guitar student in my opinion. I'm looking forward to getting into the more difficult compas as I get these simple ones learned. Thanks you Joonas for providing such an excellent and essential study book. I couldn't afford the P&P for the hard copy so I got the download... I simply write out the tab by hand so I'm not having to look at a screen all the time and that suits my style of learning. Hopefully when volume 2 is released I'll have more money for the physical copy 🙂
Thank you! I really appreciate your feedback. It's important to know how people feel about the material so I can develop it more in the future when next volumes are coming.
This book is beyond awesome and is exactly what I have been looking for quite some time. I love how it progressively goes from extremely basic level to some pretty advanced stuff. Thanks for including Fandangos...I love that Palo!
Just ordered your new book, can't wait to start relearning (over 20 year) as I have played and taken lessons in Spain, too many teachers and some confusion. I really like your modern yet traditional style of playing. Be well my friend. James from Canada
Great pruduction effort❤️ I have been waiting, who in Finland or via internet is the first to make this kind of producktion. I will conglatulate You. best regards Harri T
Hello, congratulations first of all, I think your book will help a lot. I was thinking about how to find a source book about compass, and I found that you published a book:) May I ask how many pages is your book and is it possible to see the content of the book?
Thanks! It has 92 pages, 12 different palos and every palos have 13-22 different compás figures to practise. Also every exercise has it's own video version slow and fast. We have to put some example pages to store..
@@sadlumsu If you send an email (you find it here globalmusic.fi/en/contact-us) and tell them the problem, I think it can be arranged. Write a tittle like "A problem with paying through PayPal for Flamenco guitar lessons Vol I"
Thank you very much! Yes, there will be at least Vol 2 and 3 and maybe more. Contents will change a bit but the ideas and structures etc. will be the same.
Would this book be appropriate for an absolute flamenco beginner? Not necessarily beginner guitar as I have about 10 years of playing experience but 0 playing flamenco and would love to start!
Hi there! Yes, if you're not familiar with flamenco, this book shows you a lot of basic comping variations. You get the basic idea about chords and compás figures. Then you can try to add some falsetas, but this book is for total beginners and advanced players. Lot's of different difficulty levels.
I'd prefer the hard copy, an actual book but with nearly £14 postage on top of the price of the book I can't afford that 😞 So I'll have to go for the digital download which is unfortunate as I hate on screen tab.
Thank you for your support! I know that it can be quite expensive to order the hard copy. Of course depends on where do you live but there's no choice for the publishing company. It's the postal costs that order prices. Luckily we have the digital format like you said.
Hi there! You can buy it from Global Music Centre. There've been some orders to US and Canada, so it shouldn't be any problem. Postal costs are a bit higher of course, but if you want, you can also download a digital version. You will find both here: globalmusic.fi/en/shop
No, kultaseni, tilasin juuri kirjan. Kahden viikon päästä ajellaan läpi Ruotsin matkailuauton ja kitaran kanssa😊 Toivottavasti kirja saapuu ajoissa, mutta vaikka ei, niin se on täällä kaikkien muiden kirjojen kanssa - rakastan kirjoja. Ainoa asia, joka voi muodostua ongelmaksi hyvin pitkällä aikavälillä (tällä hetkellä se on tietysti progressiivista), on kirjan QR-koodit... Luulen, että jotain fyysistä, kuten CD:tä, olisi parempi tulevina vuosina. Joka tapauksessa, odotan sitä innolla.😊 Google käännetty tänne😂 Herzliche und treue Grüße aus Deutschland, Micha ✊🏻
Cheers! Thank you for the message and your order and support! First I was thinking that now this is a bit weird text, but when you said "Google-translated" I understood the case 😄Google still doesn't translate Finnish well ,heh!

3 rules for flamenco guitar: stay in compás, stay in compas and stay in compás 🙂
I have just ordered it. Thank you so much for all those things you shared with us it was really helpful. All the best 😊
Thank you so much for the support!
Great move. I look forward to working through this. I hope you sell many; you deserve it.
Thank you! Hope you like it and you can benefit from it!
