A little help please

I just joined foro last year and seeing the vast universe of everything that's here, i get overwhelmed and confused. There's a lot of great threads that i don't know where to start. There's about accompanying cante, some past challenges where we beginners could get useful tips for our playing. It's exhaustive i feel my mind's gonna explode. I fear that if i don't continue practicing, i'll drown my time searching the foro.

It's hard to be updated and also well versed with what going on, and what has happened in the foro for the past years (not to mention the foro was ever since 2003!!) i just started playing guitar in 03.

Could someone give some of the "highlights" of the posts since last years, the most helpful, useful or informative. Sorry if i sound demanding,really, I'm just asking for the posts that stuck to your memory ever since. Threads that ultimately helped you to become a better player that you are now.

Thanks, amigos. God bless foro

For me over time I have discovered that you can only work on a few things at a time . Don't worry about the past if you find something you can relate to work on that . The foro is constantly presenting useful useable ideas , It is my teacher at present . My only advise for developing guitarists is that your technical practice should be practicing to relax with your technique . It must be relaxed .

theres that thread about cante accomp i imagine u found it ?...its about 17 pages...thats very useful

also search "flamenco loops"

and dictionary of "flamenco chords" ( or something to that effect)

there's more but i cant think of it right now...there's many useful threads on many ...almost every topic in flamenco....depends on what you are interested in........just search the topics you are working on or are particularity interested in...
