Flamenco Improvisation

The Flamenco Improvisation series by Enrique Vargas is the definitive method for musicians seeking to understand and improvise within authentic flamenco traditions. Spanning three in-depth volumes, this groundbreaking collection introduces the modal foundations of flamenco, dissects key palos (styles), and provides hundreds of musical examples, exercises, and improvisational strategies. 

Every scale, arpeggio and melodic pattern in these books comes with a corresponding guitar fingering, since the guitar is the primary instrument of flamenco. However, the material can be applied to any instrument.

What sets this series apart is the completeness of the author’s research (over 1000 pages total!) and its usefulness both to full-time flamenco players and guitarists just wanting to add new, intriguing sounds to their toolkit, from one of the world’s richest musical languages.
