Have you ever wondered how flamenco guitarists make four chords sound like pure magic?
The answer lies in chord progressions — not magic formulas, but combinations of chords that, played with rhythm and feeling, make your guitar speak flamenco.
This book brings together 23 original harmonic progressions carefully selected so you can use them straight away: to accompany cante, to add colour to your falsetas, or simply to enjoy at home while you discover that duende hiding inside your instrument.
Think of these progressions as pieces of flamenco Lego. Practice each one, combine it with another, and little by little you will feel how your playing fills up with resources — and how your guitar starts to sound with more soniquete.
What You Will Find Inside
- 23 complete flamenco chord progressions across multiple keys and styles
- Clear tablature for every exercise — no guesswork needed
- QR codes linking to exclusive instructional videos where Pedro plays each progression in real time
- Essential chord diagrams for every progression
- Practical tips to avoid bad habits and ideas for applying each progression to different flamenco palos
- An introductory arpeggio section with the 3 fundamental right-hand patterns (ascending, descending and double)
- Workbook section with blank pages for your own notes and practice diary
What You Will Achieve
- A solid harmonic vocabulary to sound flamenco from the very first session
- The ability to combine progressions freely and create your own musical language
- Correct right-hand technique for arpeggio patterns
- Familiarity with the most important keys in flamenco guitar: E minor / Phrygian, A minor, D minor, B minor, F# and more
- Resources to accompany singing, build falsetas, or simply enjoy playing
Who Is This Book For?
This book is for you if…

- You are an intermediate student who knows chords but feels stuck sounding «classical»
- You are self-taught and looking for fresh progressions with video support

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to read music to use this book?
No. All progressions come with full tablature (TAB), so you can follow along without knowing traditional notation. If you can read numbers on a fretboard diagram, you are ready to start.
What level do I need to be?
Beginner to intermediate. If you already know some basic open chords (Em, Am, D, G, C) you will be comfortable from the first pages. The progressions increase in complexity as you go through the book.
How do the QR code videos work?
Each progression has a QR code printed on the sheet. Scan it with your phone camera and it will take you directly to a video of Pedro playing that progression, so you can hear exactly how it should sound and study the right-hand technique.
Is this a physical book or a digital download?
This product is a digital PDF download. You will receive the file immediately after purchase and can print it yourself at home or at a print shop. A physical printed edition is also available — please contact Pedro for international shipping arrangements.
What kind of guitar do I need?
A classical or flamenco guitar is ideal, but these progressions can be played on any nylon-string acoustic guitar in standard tuning (EADGBE). The techniques and tab are written for fingerstyle right-hand playing.
Can I use these progressions to accompany singing (cante)?
Absolutely. Several progressions are specifically suited for accompanying flamenco cante. Pedro includes practical tips on how to adapt each one to different palos and performance contexts.
Is this book available in Spanish?
Yes. The Spanish edition («23 Progresiones de Guitarra Flamenca») is available separately in the store.
How do I order the physical book from outside Spain?
Because shipping costs vary by destination, international physical orders are handled directly. Please use the contact form to get in touch with Pedro before purchasing the printed edition.
