Yeah, basically just variations from simple to complex. Material for practice. The more the better. C'mon guys share :) I have been heeding the advice of this forum, and been practiicing basics. Which has been helping out a lot. I have adopted the difficult practice. of counting out loud (i.e. "twelve and one and two and three ..."), and tapping my foot precisely. It's a very challenging thing to do (for me), but it has helped immensely lately. Last night I was practicing some of the Gerardo Nunez Sanlucar excercises I found, took a break and dug through some stacks of stuff for something else to try out. I stumbled on one of Henrik's old uploaded tabs, which a year ago I could not play, and magically I realized I could play it by sight alone at slow speed. Henrik's video uploads (the bathrobe era), I must say have been tremendous source of inspiration for me. It was I think the first Flamenco stuff I saw, that inspired me with the thought, that it was within reach to be able to play. Now of course, Henrik just keeps getting better, but that's a good thing. Thanks Much Henrik! I even broke out the steel string, and revisited some stuff as well. I have an Al Dimeola song I learned a long time ago "Vertigo Shadow", which while I know all the notes, had given me some difficulty. Anyway, I found this flamenco practice has helped me to play that kind of stuff as well. Thanks Much Jeff

Henrik - Hey, some of your Bulerias uploads, are some of the best example of Bulerias in it's basic form, and played well. Plus you tabbed some of it, I wish you had tabbed more to be honest. There's other stuff out there which is at about the same level, BUT a lot of it is like OLD sounding Flamenco. Which I practice, but it does not sound modern. That's a bit the problem. Beginning level stuff, that's out there is all old style. Which is usefull, but the style you played is like simplified modern style, which is exactly the kind of stuff I like working on. I listen to Diego Del Gastor for example, and it's cool, but I listen to Tomatito or Gerardo, etc. and I like the more modern style better. Regards, Jeff

You will like the Graf Martinez books if you don't already have them. Beginner to intermediate level stuff, in a modern style. You can spot simplified versions of falsetas by Paco, Tomatito, Quique etc.

Just for what it's worth, I scribble notes like the following to remember these things. Romerito's last one became: comma delimits the beat string/fret parens encapsulate chords 5/1,p0,1/0,h5/4,4/2,3/3,p0,G,(1/0 2/2 3/0),G,(1/0 2/3 3/0 4/3 5/1) Not sure if this is usefull, but for me it's much faster to type
