Pretty straightforward book with different positions for chords, and the reason why I bought it was about the chordprogressions. Good book, for a good price...

Ole Kozz. dank je wel seams to be a good book. gonne buy it
No probs. I enjoy it very much because I am just a beginner in playing, it is nice to have some progressions and fiddle around with practising technique on the guitar, and actualy making some kind of music.

Thanks. I get your point.
What about
0 6 5 3 5 5
It sounds more minor in my ears.
Exactly! That's great!
Lately, i have started changing all chords i use, for the jazzier versions. In this way, the chords become less pronounced-straight and more silk, and i seem to like that This seems to be the current trend in Spain as i can see through videos of flamenco and flamenquito, so let's jump on this train also.

Well, Thats a personal taste. I personally like when at least the main part of the chords are straight. I also like a few jazzy ones inbetween, but I loose the center of the music when they are all jazzy. It stops sounding flamenco in my ears and when you the start using a lighter attack, add a cajon a bit lelelele chorus... Then it ends up being Andalucian elevator music in my ears.
You´re right that its very much a trend here in Spain and IMHO, its not a good one.
When playing Bulerias, tangos etc. por medio, I like what the straight Gminor does. Its big and punchy. The problem is that the Dminor when playing por arriba sounds flimsy and weak. Right now my favorites are the one I wrote and Deterresas one in parentesis.

By the way, I suggest that it will help also a little bit more if you can add the name of the chord also. for example:
E Emaj7 E6 E6/9 Eadd9 Eadd9 Emaj7/6 Emaj7/6/9 etc...... E 0 0 0 2 0 4 0 2 B 0 0 2 2 0 0 2 2 G 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 D 2 1 2 2 4 4 1 1 A 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 E 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
a little bit more work but also quite a usefull to know. It's also easier if you know the basic intervals you can form the chords yourself and you dont have to know how the "box" looks like. So, one of the most effective way to learn to chords is to read them and also studying the intervals. For example:
Basic major chord is formed using intervals 1, 3, 5 minor 1, b3, 5 seventh 1,3,5,b7 maj 1,3,5,7 dimished 1,b3,b5,bb7 etc.
If you remember these and know the major and minor scales, you can form them by yourself, quite easily. Studying is woth it. Actually it's a lot easier with guitar than with for example piano. We dont have "visual curse" with the white and black notes like pianists. We have only same kind of frets.
Hope this helps also! This seems to be quite usefull conversation to all of us.

The StudyBlue web site has an excellent way to post flashcards for such things as Flamenco Guitar Chords. Also there is an Android/iOS version for mobile devices.
Search on Flamenco Guitar Chords (which should be finished in a week or so). Building it for myself, but made it public since many people have contributed to building a nice collection of chords on this forum. A wider audience can be reached using this and the random tests are a challenge. Open to any suggestions.
By the way, I suggest that it will help also a little bit more if you can add the name of the chord also. for example:
It's actually quite interesting that some of the flamenco chords don't have standard theoretic names, like they almost go beyond standard theory. For example many of the chords can't be named by a standard chord generator. I'm sure with enough knowledge they can be all named but with rather long names.
