Hello everyone! Individual learning: I, for one, am still learning compás (uffff!). I've watch a few videos from various performers! Picked up 2 soleares, zorongo, 2 tangos & a farruca, working on a sevillana, learning picado, tremolo & working on alzapua (full plate). For me, it's easier to look (observe), listen, and feel as supposed to read standard notation. What are you guys "methods" for learning a piece?

I started off learning from the Juan Martin solos book and still use that, as well as many other tab books, sporadically. I don't like notation, it can be easier at first than learning by ear, but many nuances are difficult if not impossible to express like that (especially rhythmic ones--try learning bulerias from a Juan Martin book!), it's harder to memorize a piece since you develop a dependency on the tabs, and you rarely learn what you're playing within the context of the particular compas. Like most good teachers, mine teaches me by ear and by sight, and you know what, after an hour's lesson, I've almost completely memorized something far more complicated than something simpler that I'd take ages to learn on tab. If you can get a teacher, don't hesitate, but many of us aren't fortunate enough to live in Spain or a metropolitan area where there is flamenco.
