Flamenco Improvisation Volume 1 By Enrique Vargas
The definitive, comprehensive explanation of both the harmonic and
melodic aspects of flamenco! Flamenco Improvisation - Modal
Improvisation and Melodic Construction in the Flamenco Environment by
famed guitarist Enrique Vargas. Before delving into the more complex,
polytonal, tetrachordal modal structures of flamenco, Volume 1 explores
the melodic and harmonic aspects of the seven basic Greek modes (Ionian,
Dorian, Phrygian, Lydian, Mixolydian, Aeolian and Locrian), even if they
are not bona fide flamenco modalities. In addition, the general rules of
left-hand guitar fingerings are established here, to avoid possible
confusion when interpreting the wealth of material offered in the second
and third volumes. In this first volume, the concept of symmetrical
permutations is analysed and explained and three types of symmetrical
permutations, with their corresponding guitar fingerings, are presented
for the basic modes. These permutations are perfectly valid for musical
instruments other than the guitar — one can play them and just ignore
the guitar fingering symbols. Every harmonic aspect of the seven basic
modes are explained — triads, seventh, ninth and add chords, etc. One
appendix gives a compendium of 72 licks, or melodic examples/ideas for
improvisation, written in each of the basic modes.

Why you can feel secure shopping with us
When you shop with us, our secure server encrypts all of your personal information, including name, address and credit card information. We use SagePay which are an industry leader in secure internet transactions. SagePay are used by thousands of other UK businesses for transaction security.
Industry leading transaction security
All transaction information passed between our website and the SagePay Payment System is encrypted using 128-bit SSL certificates. No cardholder information is ever passed unencrypted and all messages from SagePay are signed using MD5 hashing to prevent tampering. You can be completely secure in the knowledge that nothing passed to SagePay can be examined, used or modified by any third parties attempting to gain access to sensitive information.
Internationally recognised encryption and data storage
Once on the SagePay system, all sensitive data is secured using the same internationally recognised 256-bit encryption standards used by, among others, the US Government. The encryption keys are held on state-of-the-art, tamper proof systems in the same family as those used to secure VeriSign's Global Root certificate, making them all but impossible to extract. The data they hold is extremely secure and they are regularly audited by the banks and banking authorities to ensure it remains so.
Private network links to banks
SagePay has multiple private links into the banking network that are completely separate from the Internet and which do not cross any publicly accessible networks. Any cardholder information sent to the banks and any authorisation message coming back is secure and cannot be tampered with.
Employee access
No individuals within our company or SagePay are able to decrypt transaction information or cardholder data. Their systems only allow access to our most senior staff and only in extenuating circumstances (such as investigations of Card Fraud by the Police). Your card information is secure even from their own employees because the systems never display the full card numbers, even on administration screens.
