Get yourself a guitar and start practising... a lot... and start listening to Flamenco as much as you can, because listening is as important as practising.

That's basicaly it, welcome to the Foro!

Welcome - I agree with my buddy from Los Angeles. Get a good teacher if possible. That 1 to 1 teacher to student experience is the best possible way to learn

Welcome to the foro. The best advice is indeed to listen,view and play a lot and to find yourself a good teacher (not the kind that plays his own stuff and expects you to figure it out yourself, but one who can really teach/coach you in understanding both the music and the technique). I freewheeled myself for over 10 years before i took my first flamenco lessons and basically had to start all over again.
