A handy set of links.

The following are a collection of links, I have found useful. I tried not to include links of sites from current or past members, simply because I didn't want to neglect anyone, but I invite you to bump this thread with some self-promotion, or to remind me of some absent members' sites I ought to have included.

RE: A handy set of links. (in reply to gj Michelob)

No problem!

I can't find it at this moment, but I had a really nice page that was all just blank chord diagrams, that was the link that got me annoyed enough to reorganise.
So I just fill out the whole sheet with the chords as they appear in a piece and practice moving from chord to chord, because it's usually my left hand slowing me down.
If I find it again, I'll include it above.

I had considered breaking up the groups of links to different threads, but I didn't want to look like a spammer.

Thanks for taking the time. Very handy to have the links all in one thread.

Hey, really, no problem. No hay de que.

Partly I did it just for myself. At least now I can find them again if lose my system/back-ups or want to access it from somewhere else.

I did think that there are people, like me, who would have been pleased to be given these links rather than dig them up by themselves.

I'll try to update this thread as I find more good sites, or pages get moved and if any one topic gets too unwieldy, I'll give it its own thread.

If anyone thinks I've missed something or wants me to include something, feel free to post it in the thread, or PM me and I'll edit the first post of the thread to include it.

A small update:

Diario Flamenco
This appears to be the new home of the MSN group in the original post the most obviously useful info is the tables with palmas patterns.

Didáctica del Flamenco
A little course in Flamenco.

-----------------------------------------------------

flamencocompas.nl/
This is a funny little compas oriented site that has no documentation or explanation.
There's a clock and to the right a panel with a list of items you can click.
There's another panel under that with a tab for track info and a tab for artist info.

- If the item has an 8th note symbol beside it, it's just a music sample that I suppose is demonstrative as the compas clock shows you the compas.

- If the item has a graduation cap, then it usually has more too it. e.g. the guitar exercises have a pdf link for the tab.

- If the item has a metronome, you can usually manipulate the audio channels to hear the compas, the music, or both together.
