If it helps.......I didn't know everything I needed to know when I started playing dance classes quote:
my advise is to just go along to a dance class and join in. Don't wait till your ready, cause you'll never be ready! thats great advice and so true..no matter how much u know in theory the first day u walk in u are still going to be lost ..but dont worry chances are theres another guitarrist there so just follow him until u start geting confident.. but dont get too comfortable for too long ..u need to force yourself to think for yourself eventualy..its alot eazyer to sound good following someone and get a false sence of how much u know...u have to eventualy try and get some alone time with the dancers so that u think things out for yourself and can relie on yourself... it like a job ..u learn in the first week of beeing there what u spent a year studying on a traning course....(but ofcourse the course is also very good for you because it should provide a good strong basework, with thechnology and internet and dvds etc.. we are very lucky today...theres alot of good information out there..alot of good resources..Jason's online lessons, Flamenco Teacher, Flamenco Forums, Solo Compas, Youtube etc.. Its excellent that u wanna focus on accomp too mrMagenta. it will put everything u have learned thus far to practice..its a great feeling its very rewarding good luck with it all.. dont wait, look in the phonebook today, weather u go in now or in a year from now u will still be just as prepared or should i say unprepared (if u have that option in your city) right now things like llamada, escobilla , silencio dont mean much to you (i presume) and its pretty pointles talking about them.. but once u start with dancers...they will make sence to you and you will be able to alter your questions here and to Jason or wherever to suit the specific things u would like help with.. its alot eazyer to learn when you have a plan and know exactly what u are learning for..and u are able to test what u have learned on a weekley bases.. i was a beginner beginner what i started accomp..i didnt just not know anything about acomp but i didnt know anything about guitar, or flamenco ..they would say in class " - Next week we going to begin Farucca choreography...i would rush home and put the Solo Compas cd in to listen to what a Farucca is sopossed to sound like and the format for a dancer...the guitarists solo albums were no help for acompanying" i learned both at the same time.... sometimes u just have to throw yourself into the deep end it happened that way by accident but i am glad i didnt have too much time to ponder about it...u are allready in a better spot then i was
