lboiv001 -> What is the name of the style? (Aug. 1 2010 5:15:51)
I have played guitar for years, but I am new (and fascinated by) Flamenco. I need help learning the basic style definitions, i.e........ What do you call the soft, sweet serenading version of flameco? ....or how about the aggressive, powerful version? .......good examples? Also, can anyone suggest a list of standard songs to start learning? Any help on this is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Welcome to the forum lboiv001. [:)] Flamenco is difficult because it takes several years to start to be able to sing, dance or play the guitar, and at least one of those years is spent learning how to understand what you hear. It's no exaggeration to say that any average aficionado will spend the rest of his or her life learning to listen. So you have to be patient and keep listening. The summarization that you're asking for has filled entire books. Here's a forum thread with some information: http://www.foroflamenco.com/tm.asp?m=37225&appid=&p=&mpage=1&key=styles&tmode=&smode=&s=#122733

Norman is right.. To get into flamenco it takes years.. I would go through all the old Camaron records where he was acompined by Paco and Tomatito. To learn the details in any palo I recommend playing in a dance school and looking for a more or less experienced singer. The best is to know people who know how to play for dance and singing. If you are alone its ten times harder and takes a lot more time. Start with old flamenco and let aside all new records.

quote: standard songs to start learning As you may begin to see, there are many flamenco forms ('palos') and many variations. Often a beginner is recommended to start with Soleares, a 12 beat form. While each palo has it's own particular characteristics they're never one dimensional; you'll be able to find both sweetness and power in Solea. You can then spend the rest of your life exploring Solea plus all the other palos! And you still won't be able to learn everything but it's a wonderful road to be on.
