Another question on different palos

Hi everyone,

I'm back with more questions on the various palos. In contrast to how I was struggling a few months ago, I now find playing certain forms like soleares, bulerias, tangos, alegrias, farrucas, guajiras etc within my reach. I've a rough direction on these common forms now.

But as you should notice, popular books like Juan Martin's and Graf-Martinez's methods cover these popular forms. But I'm trying to learn the rest like solea por buleria, tientos, tanguillos, siguiriyas, columbianas etc. These aren't all that unpopular, in fact, most of my CDs have them (except solea por buleria). Any good books or methods on these less published forms? Hope you guys can recommend any good resourse on such palos.

Thanks,
Cheston

Juan covers Tientos and Siguiriyas in both his El Arte book and his first video series La Guitarra Flamenca with nice and easy trad beginner solos.

Paco Pena's Toques flamencos (Intermediate level, harder than Juans stuff) has good trad Tientos and a killer Colombianas (killer as in good).

No pieces to learn, but a superb audio intro to all the main palos including all the ones above: Understanding Flamenco CD.
