Thanks to everyone here for their advice. It looks like the general concensus is to get juan martins El arte and Paco Pena's Toques book. Same applied at Flamenco Teacher too. Another Question tho. Oscar Herrero's DVDs go up to volume six is it worth investing in all of them? As for the Mel bay book, it's not a bad start because it is fairly basic but it's taken me 8 months of solid practice to get to the final section with some actual music. But for a total flamenco virgin I can recommend it. Looks like i've decided on a wish list now tho. Problem is I really want to expand and develop a repertoire as well as learn techniques are these books good for that? Smurf

Smurf, for now, just get the first 3 Herrero videos. The first 2 are mostly right hand technique, and the third is left hand technique. The 3rd is a wonderful series of lessons for the left hand. That 3rd video really helped me along. It's funny, us flamenco guitar players! We worry/practice so much right hand technique that we sometimes lose focus on the left hand. Well, Oscar really gives you some good practice lessons to develope your left hand. The last 3 videos concentrate on cante and baile accompaniment, so, until you learn the basics of most palos, this probably will not be much use to you at this time. How come you have not registered here yet? (bad boy, bad, bad, bad boy)!! ;>) Merle
