I don't see how it could hurt to study other players compas variations. I would like such a thing. I often feel like expanding my rhythmic vocabulary, especially for palos I don't play much.. sure there is youtube, but you always loose a lot of time searching around instead of having something quick and accessible
Hmm. Norman might have something in his collections?
It does a pretty good job of it. Its also good to have for the experienced player who does a lot of self-teaching from recordings. You never really learn every aspect to the music teaching yourself. This book helps fill in the blanks.

I think you are asking for different set of chords to play in different compas, if that is the case, Faustino's book does not have that, it talks about beats and accents and shows some chords but not a bunch of 'chord progressions' you can play in compas.

Yes exactly. I know lots of falsetas but would like to learn more compas patterns/chord changes. I don't have a teacher and I'm bored with the material I do know. I'd just like to learn more compas patterns for something say like a Bulerias in E.

Something like this? (rename to pdf after downloading!)

I'm sure that you've gone through this but I do want to suggest that you should always take time to learn accompaniments of records. Listen, figure the chords out, and play along to Camaron, Terremoto, Jose and co. Cantaors such as Camaron, Morente, Arcangel, Potito will give you some unusual ideas of course.
In that way not only you'll learn new progressions, you'll know how it is applied and at the same time subconsciously learn some singing melodies too.
If you're relatively new to this (I have no idea if you are), then it would help immensely to have a good teacher who will show you how this is done (learning "how to fish" you could say).
As someone said once, "the longest way between A and B is the shortcut". It's very true.
Thanks for the suggestions. I was just wondering if there was a book out with various compas' in the different keys. I do a lot of listening to cante so that helps a lot but sometimes I'll learn a falseta in a certain key and want to try different compas' in that particular key.
