RE: All Flamenco chords in Tab (in reply to El Kiko)
Why was Robug´s tab file ignored? His efforts on page 4 of this thread yield a beautifully looking tab file. Only that for some reason the lower part of the sheet seems to be missing.
Robug, you there? Can I have the complete .jpg please? And thank you for the nice work!

It was incorrect. He never responded. I believe he only did the A chords I posted on page 1....those (as I replied to him if you followed) he did it wrong in a couple spots after all.
and if you followed the thread after that you can see how it spawned a discussion as per my corrections that certain voicings might not even be possible, which then turned into a free guitar lesson.
Thanks for such interesting posts. From our team we wanted to let you know that the master Flamenco player Yago Santos is currently teaching Skype guitar lessons where we are sure you will have the answer to such questions and many other interesting stuff. We have several courses available for guitarists of all levels
About Yago Santos: 1) First "International Paco de Lucia Prize”. 2) Graduated “Summa Cum Laude” at Berklee College of Music. 3) Pupil of the great master Rafael Riqueni. 4) Touring and solo concerts in over 40 countries.

Thank you, Ricardo, for starting this very *essential* thread. Music theory and musical terms of communication are one thing. The ramifications of the specific tuning of the guitar and it's open strings are another. Flamenco culture is another. The latter is hard to find specific info about, other than ears and eyes and paying attention and collecting. Such a collection is priceless.
Thank you, all you lovely contributors, for this expanding compendium of lore.

I don't know how you can learn the chords like this hahaha that's crazy. I discovered a spanish web where you can watch all the chords and differents lessons. I leave you the web here
My father is from spain so for me is really easy to understand everything, but I think that you can use google translator, it will be better than anything.
Part of the reason I started this thread was because this topic of chord voicing comes up often and there are some interesting left hand techniques you don't find in other guitar styles. "Andalusian hand Jive" estebanan called it once.
I have small hands and can grab this chord no problem even quick amidst some fast bass note falsetas etc., even my 670mm scale guitar no capo. The first trick to master is the half barre by bending the index first joint in a way to get the 4th,3rd and 2nd strings held with the top E string open. It's a matter of milimeters, most students will mute accidently the first string at first attemps. Next the pinky stretch is achieved by using thumb down very low behind the neck, the wrist almost straight and the elbow tucking quite close to your rib cage, in effect pointing your forearm back toward the headstock.
As some one said use of capo will make this chord more comfy.
Wow I had no idea I contributed some useful information to the chord thread that Ricardo approves of.

RE: All Flamenco chords in Tab (in reply to El Kiko)
Hi,
I have always had trouble with this barre chord which I think is a Major 7 chord:
When I stretch my middle finger two frets up on the fourth string, it pulls my index finger off the barre. I find it helps to angle my middle down toward the headstock. Off course higher up the fretboard and using a capo helps. Since the bass E string is not needed I am only the barre on the top 5 strings. It is especially difficult to quickly transition from another position to this chord. Any tips other than getting my index / middle fingers to stretch more?
Thanks!

Ah well, there was a fantastic passion there, in my case anyway. I discovered flamenco very early on. It grips you in a way that you can't get away - Paco Pena

This is E major chord

Would you guys use this chord as final chord in Andalusian cadence in por arriba? Which F chord voicing would you choose? F barre in the 1st position doesn't sound right to me.
