Compas Book? 
Does anyone know if a book exists that shows some various compas patterns in the various keys?

RE: Compas Book? (in reply to TANúñez) 
good question...and a good idea for something that's never been done..

I don't know a such book but I don't think it's a good way of learning it anyway...

Are you stuck on some compas ideas?

I don't see how it could hurt to study other players compas variations. I would like such a thing. I often feel like expanding my rhythmic vocabulary, especially for palos I don't play much.. sure there is youtube, but you always loose a lot of time searching around instead of having something quick and accessible

Hmm. Norman might have something in his collections?

If you mean simple ways to keep rhythm, I've got a number of ideas for bulerías:

I haven't seen much on these kinds of short ideas, not even from teachers, although they're an essential part of playing.

get this book:



http://www.amazon.com/Flamenco-Music-Theory-Instructional-Fernandez/dp/8460935140/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1286549713&sr=1-1

It does a pretty good job of it. Its also good to have for the experienced player
who does a lot of self-teaching from recordings. You never really learn every aspect
to the music teaching yourself. This book helps fill in the blanks.

I think you are asking for different set of chords to play in different compas, if that is the case, Faustino's book does not have that, it talks about beats and accents and shows some chords but not a bunch of 'chord progressions' you can play in compas.

You can check it out at Google books
http://books.google.com/books?id=EPC-yn0xcIAC&printsec=frontcover&dq=Flamenco+Music+Theory&hl=en&ei=aTOvTIePNcOBlAe7uM21BQ&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=book-thumbnail&resnum=1&ved=0CDEQ6wEwAA#v=onepage&q&f=false

Not sure that is what you are looking for though, there's piano bars in there.

Yes exactly. I know lots of falsetas but would like to learn more compas patterns/chord changes. I don't have a teacher and I'm bored with the material I do know. I'd just like to learn more compas patterns for something say like a Bulerias in E.

RE: Compas Book? (in reply to kozz) 
I'm sure that you've gone through this but I do want to suggest that you should always take time to learn accompaniments of records. Listen, figure the chords out, and play along to Camaron, Terremoto, Jose and co. Cantaors such as Camaron, Morente, Arcangel, Potito will give you some unusual ideas of course.

In that way not only you'll learn new progressions, you'll know how it is applied and at the same time subconsciously learn some singing melodies too.

If you're relatively new to this (I have no idea if you are), then it would help immensely to have a good teacher who will show you how this is done (learning "how to fish" you could say).

As someone said once, "the longest way between A and B is the shortcut". It's very true.

I hope it helps

Francis

The new "Palos" Thread in the Academy section of the Foro looks like it will be your best source once it is developed.

Thanks for the suggestions. I was just wondering if there was a book out with various compas' in the different keys. I do a lot of listening to cante so that helps a lot but sometimes I'll learn a falseta in a certain key and want to try different compas' in that particular key.

RTC, Miguel used to be my teacher but haven't studied with him in quite some time. May need to start up again.
