mostly Juan Martin stuff. I know the notes from Paco Pena's Rumbeando la Milonga, and recently started trying to learn some fandango stuff from Habichuela's encuentro.

I play (not well) Paco Pena, some Sabicas slowed down (extremely rich harmonic structure), and tried some Juan Martin till I found all the others. (thanx to this site)

I play Alegrías, Bulerías (these two along with a CD with a percussion loop), Soleá, Siguiriya, Sevillanas, with a mix of diverse falsetas from PDL, Pena, Chicuelo, Paco Pena, Paco Cepero, things from Encuentro videos.

Then there's:
Reflejo de Luna - PDL
Con Garbo y Salero - Sabicas
Fuente de Cristal - Paco Cepero

And if it's not strictly flamenco:

Asturias - Albeniz
Recuerdos de la Alhambra - Tarrega
Spanish Romance - Anonymous
El Testament d'Amelia - Catalonian Folk Song
Una Limosna por el Amor de Dios - Barrios
Scherzino Mexicano - Manuel María Ponce

Mine is about 30 seconds long and it always changes. My theory is, when you are old like I am, you can only retain 30 seconds of material.....the last you were working on! In with the good...out with the old!

So right now, it's 30 seconds of Amir Hadad Buleria.

Well it depends on tempo, but for bulerias, that is A LOT of material actually!

You mean stuff I can actually play

I have tons of stuff memorized but can only about 10% really well.

I have:
Alegrias in E(2 solos modern/traditonal-personal), A, D.
Bulerias por Arriba and por medio as well as B, C#.
Also Bulerias In EMaj/G#phr. as well as Amaj/C# I use when accompanying alegrias.
Seguiriya in D, A...actually one solo I learned that starts in D and "modulates" to A.
Tanguillos x 3. Gminor and 2 por arriba.
Guajira
Minera in C#.
Granaina
Tangos x 3: M/T and one in G#.
Tientos 2 solos M/T
Solea 2 por arriba, one por medio (which is different material than I would play for SxB)
Solea por Buleria 3: Por arriba, por medio, B
Fandangos x 2. (De Huelva of course)
Farruca x 2: M/T
Rondena

Classical:
Barrios-Una Limosna, La Catedral
Tarrega-tremolo
Bach-Preludio in Am(forget which suite)
Villa Lobos: Sentimental melody
Assad: Valseana

That is all stuff I have in my head and can practice on a whim. As far as it being playable. It is too much stuff unless one has a great practice regimen of at least 6 hours a day. Even then almost all of it is above my level. I was just good enough to learn the material but to master it another story.

OFF TO PRACTICE

No Taranta? No Garrotin? No Fandango por medio? For shame, I thought you said you were a flamenco player...try to be bit more well rounded, would you please?
