RE: Best music to play while serenad... (in reply to Adam)
sorry, couldnt resist :)
there's the bit that Paco often uses to introduce his mineras, the one that starts on E and goes up by thirds, then ends in C#madd9, Badd9, A, G# - from that you could switch to alegrías and sing a letra :)

I think you should hire Lila Downs and her troupe to perform "Alcoba Azul." Your job is to dance seductively below the window. Your lady friend will get the message. Adam FTW!!!
RE: Best music to play while serenad... (in reply to Adam)
Should it be only one guitar , or you can involve some people or backtracking? I personally find Kris' "Starlight" very suitable , but you'll need palmas and a second guitar. . .

I've always had great luck with two Hendrix tunes: Little Wing and Angel
If I were going with flamenco, it would probably be an alegrias (major key, not minor) or a rumba. I think chicks dig it when you're happy. We only THINK they are moved by our depth of emotion....our jjjjjondo....or our little inner emo whiny ass.
