I Need A One Way Ticket from Classic...

Dear All, I'm a Classical Guitar player from Kuwait and wish to learn Flamenco. I already have mastered Rasguedos, Picado, Golpe, Legato, Flamenco Tromolo, Parada, Alzapua...etc. I'm also fluent in music theory. However, I lack Flamenco music theory and need to know how to put it all together. What I'm looking for is direct examples "tabs" and information about: Various Flamenco scales and their harmony. e.g. Por Medio, Por Ariba, the only two I know. Flamenco chords and function of different chords, 7th 6th dim...etc. Flamenco Songs and their forms. Tricks and techniques. I would be grateful it if someone could show me examples "tabs", put me in the right direction and show me what else I would need. Best regards. Aljabriya

Aljabriya, Firstly, welcome to the Forum! Secondly....I think you are approaching this from the wrong angle. No amount of tabs will turn you from a Classical player to a Flamenco player. It's an advantage that you have some knowledge of Flamenco techniques, like rasgueado, alzapua etc...but if you can't find a proper Flamenco teacher *, you will have to start with one of the DVD/Video/Book courses such as Juan Martin, Oscar Herrero, Graf-Martinez etc. Compás, or rhythm is the core which all Flamenco revolves around, and without a good understanding of this you will never understand the phrasing or rhythm of the pieces you are attempting, regardless of how good your technique is. *(Read the post by Phrygus "The Inflation of the term Flamenco") If you search through the archives you'll get some reviews on these DVD/Video/Book methods. Good Luck! It's a long haul, but it's fun! cheers Ron
