thats right Mark!  Works for bulerias, solea, tangos, rumba, tanguillo, solea por buleria, seguiriya,... probably more. [EDIT: i forgot tientos^^]
Reinhart, jokes aside, i dont think its good for you if somebody else does your homework. Just take the scales and form chords. Listen to music, buy some books, take some lessons... thats how everybody does it and gets along with it (more or less well). I mean from what i remember you are a professional musician, right??? Maybe im a bit old-fashioned, but the question you ask is part of the job of a musician. And aside from that it is alot of fun to make your own experiences, being moved by a chord and trying to hear it out or something...

I taught myself to play the pedal steel guitar. There is a Steel Guitar Forum where guys hang out, including some of the biggest named players of the instrument. The guys on that forum LOVE to help newbies and they all jump at the chance to lend guidance. (Often, answers come directly from the big dogs themselves. For example, Lloyd Green--one of the most recorded steel players in history--personally answered one of my questions I had about his playing.)
I also build R/C airplanes and was involved in a forum for that too. Anyone who asked questions was always greeted with a plethora of cheerful responses, and those guys used their expertise to help folks like me learn the tricks of the trade. (Subsequently, my first airplane turned out beautifully and flies great!)
This forum, on the other hand, seems to be very standoffish, and unless you are already an established player, good luck getting questions answered. I enjoy "lurking" and watch it every day, but as a newbie I have already experienced somewhat of a brush-off and a cold shoulder. I wonder what makes this forum so different?
So, Reinhart, as much as I hate to say it--that's just the way it is. If I could help I would, but I am in the same boat as you. Unfortunately, not all of us Flamenco enthusiasts live in Spain. I am doomed to live in Iowa and there is NO Flamenco here.

this forum is not standoffish, etc.
i don't know how many thousand times i have read (let say Ricardo for instance) explaining to some beginners again and again: please please please PLEASE focus on Compas and Rythm first, before starting to improvise spanish sounding stuff with chords, scales, etc..... otherwise you end up like some John Clarke dude, playing some spanish sounding stuff.......
http://www.foroflamenco.com/tm.asp?m=91925&appid=&p=&mpage=1&key=&tmode=&smode=&s=#91944
Compas, Rythm, Fundament - FIRST - then everything else........PLEASE
If you want to learn some spanish sounding stuff, improvise with some "cool" chords only, but not real flamenco, then yes, this forum is wrong place. Instead watch some youtube videos from that John Clarke dude and learn that stuff. No one here is interested to help you learn that spanish stuff.
if someone is really interested to learn real flamenco, he can have information in this foro and its archive worth thousands of dollars.
but if someone comes up with some question to which one can't even give a detailed answer (like this one), then please don't expect a friendly 100 page Novel., and even here he received some good answers and suggestions

well, to help him, the threadstarter would have had to say how far his knowledge already is. He says he has tons of chords, which is just ridiculous. I know alot of chords, and i would never say i have "a ton". Besides what does etc in this context mean: "chord progressions from bulerias, rumba's ect. . "? ALL palos??? If he had said: hey i have a problem with THIS thing here, different case. But this way it should be obvious that the threadstarter has no specific problem with a palo, or compas, or chord, but only wants to get some little shortcuts for some *sigh* spanish flavour influenced music. As he says: "from" Bulerias, and not "for".
