The 4th release in the flamenco guitar master series with the lineal descendant of the legend Ramon Montoya, the fabulous flamenco guitarist, Jerónimo Maya.

This could be one of the biggest flamenco productions: 194 pages A4 sheet music, 256 minutes double layer DVD in Spanish and English, over 2 years production time.

In these classes, available in book, DVD and online streaming format, Jerónimo Maya invites us, to learn his Caño Roto flamenco guitar techniques and playing. Jeronimo guides you through his specific techniques of rasgueados, picado, arpeggio, legado, the rare 'el Cantor' and 'Cejilla'. Jeronimo not only demonstrates these techniques separately, but also in practice, by playing 4 complete CD compositions, replayed slowly on a split screen with close ups of the left and right hands and a partial dynamic on-screen compas. The demonstrated Cd compositions are 'Un Cacho de la Luna' (granaína, bulerías), 'Palacio Real' (soleá), 'La Cotorra' (bulerías) and 'A Tropico' (Aire de Samba, bulerías). The accompanying book provides authentic transcriptions, written by Max Herzog in close collaboration with Jeronimo in both standard music notation and tablature. The DVD includes in depth interviews with Jeronimo and his famous family, discovering the origins of his incredible talent from an early age, the importance of his family, his roots and philosophy of music. The DVD also includes performances with his family and studio artists during the recording of his latest, new CD 'Como Soy' produced by La Sonanta.
