(eMusicWire.Org) – This release talks about flamenco guitar music. The distinct characteristics of different styles and the impact they have on the musician, as well as the technical challenge they pose are the main traits of flamenco.

Flamenco guitar music has it's own feeling, but as Hober explains "flamenco guitar music is unique because of a number of perks. In spite of a certain degree of classical music into it, it is very different in both technique and feeling. Bits of jazz improvisation can also be found in flamenco guitar music, but this doesn't mean it is jazzy or that it has a jazzy feeling". The fusion between styles have been made exactly for this purpose.

It is imperative that a style of music borrows elements from other styles, lest it becomes increasingly dull as time passes. Playing the same thing over and over is dull for anything, even more so for music. Take care in developing your style of play, if you want it to be flamenco then don't try for too much jazz in it. But feel free to improvise and search for new things. This is the best way for music to enrichen and evolve.

The technical aspect of flamenco is very impressive, as only a few have succeeded in developing powerful enough technique to cope with every style and pattern. The blistering fast picados have only been truly mastered by the great Paco de Lucia, no other has come close to his clearness and speed. Rasguedos and alzapua are best when performed by Paco Pena as he is incredibly resilient and controlled when playing those techniques.

Flamenco guitar music has much to offer to the interested, for it is filled with emotions and every style is different from all the others and provide unique experiences. While bulerias is a must have at any party, rondena, which is very powerful, requires silence and is unlikely to catch the impatient.
