Have you found your strumming boring and you could not gain speed? I have a proven method which will help you to master with step-by-step and slow motion movements to quickly get rumba, flamenco triplet, or you will be able to strum like Gabriela from Rodrigo y Gabriela, or even play songs from the Gypsy Kings and just sound amazing!

The exercises are presented in traditional musical notation, TAB, and with chord diagrams. If you are an emerging guitarist or just a beginner who is eager to master the Spanish guitar, this book is for you.

My name is Edina, and I play the guitar over 20 years, and started with flamenco about 15 years ago. I am a qualified guitar teacher, and won the Lukas (UK latin) award in 2019 as the best jazz-folk act of the year with my Spanish guitar duo, De Fuego. I helped thousands of people to master the triplet or the rumba techniques, and with my method they were able to get it after many failed attempt.

This course will be fun and will spice up your playing and also will introduce you to the world of flamenco. I hope later you will also use these techniques to play or compose your original music.
