PULGAR
Volume I
The pulgar plays a critical role in the flamenco guitar technique space. However, if you try to find a comprehensive bibliographic reference to pulgar you will be vastly disappointed.

These small available collections of exercises are not sufficiently large for a student to practice and effectively learn the pulgar techniques.
PULGAR

The present book refers exclusively to pulgar exercises and is the continuation of Volume I. Contains pulgar exercises on the chromatic scales of a string (8 notes) modified either with repetitions and note duplications or with combinations of the above modifications.
One part of volume II based on ascending and descending Formulas (rolling) of the left hand.
Another part of volume II is based on chromatic scales of two adjacent strings.
