Rob I took a look at one of the paso a paso - los palos del flamenco. And your right, the english version doesn´t work. (typical) Use the DVD anyway, as I dont think there are anything else that covers what you are looking for. The 58 minutes of baile will tell you how the dance is "constructed" which you´ll need to understand in order to accompany. Listen to what the player plays, and you´ll get an idea on what to play. You don´t have to understand what is been said, but an extra good point is that this way you´ll learn some spanish

Rob, Well there you go! that's fantastic and I remember very scary! but the right thing to be doing. The thing is, we all play at home and make progress but the thought of going out to some strange place with new faces, well it's a bit like wearing your speedos and doing a male take on that Ursula Andress stride out of that cold north sea, if you know what I mean! Tall order in a week Rob, but try to keep it really simple. Don't do anything fancy, keep counting and if you can, remember to tap your foot and get into a swing. In Solea, remember you can change from E to F on beat 3 and then bach to E on beat 10. (F is played open, 133200) Also, Am on beat 3, G6 on beat 6, F on beat 8 and back to E on beat 10. Mix these compas sequences around. Look forward to hearing how it goes. Cheers Jim.
