The Patterns within 12 beats

12 beat Compas repeats for the first 6 beats accenting on the 3s , then for the next 6 beats its like a role reversal between them going something like Off On Off, On Off On,

So the whole 12 beat Compas would look something like:

Off Off On, Off Off On, Off On off, On Off On

The On sections being the accents , the offs beings multi stroke Rasguedos amongst other slightly softer beats.

I'm kinda just thinking out loud here with my recent developments regarding compa's , so if anything i said seems sketchy or out of Rhythm, let a brother know!

Its important to note i did not write this post from a theoretical standpoint , it is starting to become natural as in not needing to think as much when executing the compass within basic chord structures , so i demonstrated the pattern like it is in my head and how i reflect that on the guitar. Wanting to be safer than sorry for learning bad habits is why i posted this in case anyone cares to share some criticism on my understanding of the 12 beat Compas so far.

I'm really excited.

This is just one of many patterns in 12 beats found in flamenco. Depending on the palo or type of song or form, you will have accents elsewhere.

One thing for sure, without compas there is can be no real flamenco.

Remove the commas (,) as they imply phrasing that you might not want to be expressing.
