great gui, but misleading.

for example, A#....C? what? no, it's Bb C

C C#? no, C Db

G G#? no G Ab etc.

Simply put, the CHROMATIC SCALE to start with, and every kind of scale you can make from that is fair game in flamenco.....so long as you make it "flamenco".

Best thing for you would be to forget about the scales themselves, or rather, try to extract some scales you like from actual FALSETAS. Much safer way to approach if you want your playing to still be called "flamenco". You will discover flamenco is more about rhythm, and patterns, and melody, than the scales themselves like in other music.

Oh, if improvising in a jazz way is your thing, not having to do with flamenco, I recommend John Mclaughlin's DVD course. It is long and expensive, but he takes you from baby steps with a basic major scale, and keeps getting more and more complex until you pretty much figure out how to apply scales to improvisation on your own. It is very challenging, and you learn a lot about how chords and scales relate, no matter what your level is.
