I have never played guitar before, but spent a week or so learning "Progressive Classical Guitar Method: For Beginner to Intermediate Students [Book 1] by Jason Waldron", and was feeling braver now, so I started this one now. What I found was an extremely clear, patient introduction into Flamenco playing. From the 1st hour, I was astonished to hear myself playing basic Farruca!!! Once you've started upon the basics, Dennis keeps building upon those points, adding a little bit more to the items you just covered, until you surprise yourself even more with the sounds that you're making. The book clearly explains what the tune should sound like, it has notations AND tablature below it with annotations that indicate a strong stroke or soft, and the CD itself is a wonderful accompaniment because he plays each lesson, then again plays it 1/2 speed so you can understand the nuances that are being introduced. Dennis also places Solo Performances for each of the great Flamenco sounds in the book as well, so you can actually perform full solos once you've tuned your skills. Overall, an excellent book that starts with basics, enhances every new skill you've just learned, and keeps the challenges coming. THANK YOU Dennis Koster!!!! Review: good method - Good book. i really like how the author introduce at the beginning the different flamenco forms (tangos, alegrias, soleares and farruca)and develop the SAME exemples with new `vocabulary` (rasgueos, picados...) through the next chapters. it is good because you can understand how is the structure of the exemples and how he make them richer. I really feel it is how it should be. If you are beginner in flamenco guitar this book is going to take you busy for a while. The studies at the end of the book sounds already like profesionnal solo concert. i didnt put 5 stars for only one thing, and it is the quintuplet rasgueos that he shows in the chapter one (the only rasgueos shown in this book), it is a beautiful rasgueo for sure but it is also one of the hardest to master, so unless you have already a good training of flamenco, you will spend weeks moving you fingers in a taichi style and counting 1- 2 - 3 -4 -5 in your head... Anyway like the author put it, to be patient is working better than to force things. and thats right, so all in all, this is a really good book... thanks M.Dennis Koster! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #2,453,043 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #3,823 in Guitar Songbooks #9,048 in Music Instruction & Study (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (55) | | Dimensions | 8.5 x 0.29 x 11 inches | | Edition | Pap/Psc | | ISBN-10 | 0786689269 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0786689262 | | Language | English | | Print length | 128 pages | | Publication date | May 29, 2015 | | Publisher | Mel Bay Publications, Inc. | ## Images ![The Keys to Flamenco Guitar Volume 1 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81iYxE0rqeL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely fantastic and inspiring! *by F***R on January 6, 2010* Having just purchased a classical guitar, I knew what I wanted it to sound like, and so purchased this book.

It is challenging and builds using very popular Flamenco songs and compas and growing them in complexity over the chapters. Mr. Koster introduces the quintuplet rasgueado early on in the book and builds all the former pieces using this method. The book is accompanied by a CD that plays through each piece and then plays the first line at half speed. I use a guitar trainer Tascam CDGT2 Portable CD Guitar Trainer to listen to and slow down the CD to speeds I can use to catch all the special innuendos and dissonant chords (which my ear is just getting used to). This book is a great curriculum and would be good for self-study or use with a Flamenco guitar instructor. Maria did tell me that she thought that some of the techniques that Dennis presents towards the beginning (a Tangos with quintuplet rasqueados) is a little more advanced for placement towards the beginning of the book. But the book is really great and I am definitely having fun with it. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vn/products/27808353-the-keys-to-flamenco-guitar-volume-1](https://www.desertcart.vn/products/27808353-the-keys-to-flamenco-guitar-volume-1) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vietnam* *Store origin: VN* *Last updated: 2026-05-18*
