I learned these tunes from being passed down from various teachers and learning them in the beginning from listening to the recordings. A few years ago I had the great fortune of sitting with Serge Camps in Paris for a few hours going through these songs and all the voicings. The colors, voicings and technique is unlike any other guitarist I have ever encountered. Most who listen to the famous recording "Gypsy Guitars" have no idea that a good portion of solos/arrangements/harmonys were all him. Quite the master! I will be putting together some materials shortly to be made available! In my opinion the only right way to learn this right is visually....the right hand is so much of how this style is played. Keep posted for videos!
