- Welcome back everyone! I'm very excited to announce that today I am launching a new “Student Repertoire” series that will cover many of the pieces I teach in private lessons and workshops. The main purpose of the series is to help my private students and workshop attendees have access to a detailed video of each piece both at a regular speed and at a slow speed with a close-up view. It should also be very useful for self learners out there who may want to learn the piece on their own using the close-up view the slow speed. Please note that this video is not intended to be an instructional video. For instruction, please reach out to me directly via my website: www.diegoalonsomusic.com.
The piece for today is titled Soleá by Manuel Granados. It is from Método Elemental de la Guitarra Flamenca, page 52. Soleá - plural = “soleares” - is not only the title of this piece but also one of many styles of flamenco music. It originated around the mid-1800s and is one of earliest styles of flamenco music. The soleá is a 12-beat style of flamenco with accents typically either on the 3, 6, 8, 10 & 12 or the 3, 7, 8, 10 & 12. The primary scale used for the style of “soleá” is the Spanish Phrygian scale which includes both a minor 3rd AND a major 3rd - although the major 3rd for harmony is only used for the tonic chord (i.e., the home-base chord). Soleares are traditionally written in either E or A Spanish phrygian and are characterized by their slow tempo (quarter-note = 70-100BPM), their heavy and dramatic expressive quality and the usage of the Andalucían Cadence (which I discuss in another video).
*NOTE: It is very important to understand that Flamenco music is originally based on the singing. The guitar’s roll was traditionally accompaniment. It was only after Ramón Montoya, the first solo concert flamenco guitarist in history, that the guitar started taking on its soloistic roll in parallel with its accompaniment roll.

Looks good man!
Thanks man! Glad you like it!
perfect tremolo.....my ears are blessed !
Glad you like it!
Olé very nice thank you!
Great Solea Diego. Thank you for sharing 🙏
Great content! Thanks!
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed it :)
Sounds very professional ---way beyond beginners---!
Thanks for your comment! Yes, in retrospect I agree. It’s more like an “advanced beginner” or early intermediate piece. That said, there are some nice sections that can be used as études for beginners so long as they’re played slowly. The trémolo is the biggest challenge I think.
Love it, because I bought Manuel granados book 'guitarra Flamenca' 20 years a go, ans this solea is inside but way to fast to understand, and now you did a slow Version to understand. Thanks a lot
So glad to hear this Paul! That book is great. It’s too bad that it’s so hard to find in the US. Glad to be of help!
Wow beautiful, thanks for sharing
Thank you very much!
Thank you so much , Diego,Tim 🇬🇧🥋
You’re very welcome! Thanks for commenting :)
The historical context is super helpful to understand and interpret the music. Such gorgeous music!
Thanks Matt! Glad you like it!
Muy bueno!!
Gracias Daniel!
Hola maestro, quería darle las gracias por este video que me ha servido mucho para rectificar errores. La saqué del libro con las tablaturas pero nunca la había escuchado por alguien que no fuera yo jeje. Ya he corregido algo y añadido algo que me faltaba. Muy agradecida.
Saludos Vicky! Me alegra mucho leer tu comentario y saber que te he podido ayudar! Esto me anima a subir muchos más. Abrazos!
Hey Diego, is the 'student repertoire' course still available? I only see private lessons offered on your site. Thanks.
Hi! That course is not up and running yet but it will be in the future. In the meantime I am offering private lessons only. Please consider signing up for my newsletter on my website so that you know when the course is back up. thanks!
@@DiegoAlonsoMusic Thanks for the reply.
Beautiful piece.
I see the microphone on the guitar, can you tell me please what model is it? Thanks 😊
Glad you enjoyed the piece! The microphone is a Neumann KM184 (amzn.to/3vuGEsl). It’s a bit expensive but totally worth it! I use it for studio and live performances and love how little EQ I have to use with it. One mic is enough for me but if you want the icing on the cake, you should get two of them for stereo recording (amzn.to/3oFFO8n). Thanks for commenting!
@@DiegoAlonsoMusic Thanks a lot! You've been really kind.
I liked your cover of the piece , it gave a "classical" soul to the Flamenco falseta.. especially at the start.. and the slow section helps a lot. Do you have a Recuerdos de la Alhambra video?
You’re very welcome! I don’t have Recuerdos recorded but I do play it - one of my favorites - and have it on my list to record. If all goes well I should be able to make a recording by October! :)
@@DiegoAlonsoMusic well.. I'm subscribed to your channel now.. looking forward for more content 😊
Hello there, I have the tabs of 3 soleares by granados, but not this one, where can I find it ? Nice interpretation (by the way). Marc
Hi Marc! Glad you like it! This is from his book “Método Elemental de la Guitarra Flamenca” page 52. Great book for starters and the short pieces at the end are great ways to put everything together. I hope the slow section from my video can help you learn it. Thanks again for your comment!

Olá, Diego!
Sou músico violonista também. Deixei de estudar o flamenco em razão dos rasgueos danificarem muito as unhas. Você tem algum cuidado especial para indicar para proteção das unhas nos rasgueos e golpes?
Obrigado!
Saudações Sérgio! Obrigado pelo seu comentário. O melhor para proteger as unhas na hora de dedilhar e dedilhar, sério, é não tocar muito forte. Sei que pode parecer muito simples, mas é a melhor coisa que você pode fazer. A outra coisa que você pode fazer é passar duas camadas de endurecedor de unhas algumas horas antes de jogar. Espero que ajude! Eu não falo português então desculpe pelos erros!
@@DiegoAlonsoMusic As dicas foram valiosíssimas, muito obrigado! E o português foi muito empregado não houve erro algum. Parabéns! Y muchas gracias
Obrigado a você Sérgio! Boa sorte e felicidades com a guitarra!

Hi Angie! Thank you for commenting but I don’t understand. 😵💫🤦🏽♂️Can you please translate to English or Spanish?
Very good! If you allow me to comment, the knock on the lid sounds too loud, but it may be because of the microphone.
Congratulations!
Thank you for your comment! I agree. Too much high-end on my EQ. :)
