I must differ with Stu on one point. Before you tackle flamenco, you should learn basic chords and scales. All the "guitar friendly" ones. Start with C Major, and A Natural Minor, they have no sharp or flat notes. Followed by: G Major and E Natural Minor (1 sharp) D Major and B Natural Minor (2 sharps) A Major and F# Natural Minor (3 sharps) C Major and C# Natural Minor (4 sharps) These are the "CAGED" scales that are most applicable to guitar in general. As to chords, your beginner chords should be: C, C7 G, G7 D, D7, Dm A, A7, Am E, E7, Em F (the one all beginners hate lol) B7 These are most of the chords that you can play without having to leave the first few frets. If you have any questions, drop me a PM. I can email PDF files to you if you wish. I do agree with Stu that learning these will not teach you flamenco. But if you're a total beginner, you need to find your way around the fingerboard first. And Stu is also right about the Juan Martín and Graf Martínez books, they're solid.
