kjohnso3 -> ayudame, por favor! (May 4 2011 20:02:13)
So, i am a beginner level flamenco learner who is using basically just the internet to learn. LIving in kentucky makes learning something like flamenco pretty difficult, but since i bought a guitar in spain i feel some what obligated to learn. soooooo.... i have beginner questions! hooray, who doesn't love those, right? ok, just two 1 should i get some kind of pick gaurd? I havent been using one, but ive noticed im getting some marks around the golpe section of the guitar. Is this a very bad thing, or nothing to worry about? 2 should i try to learn the basics of several palos, or just focus on one or two till i get them down more? SO far ive stuck mainly to solea stuff since it sounds the most (to my ears any way) flamenco. ok those are the only nagging questions i have, a grande gracias a vosotros! lo aprecio mucho la ayuda

You probably shouldn't pick up a palo, learn a couple of falsetas and two chords, then move on to something else, but neither should you devote five months of your life exclusively to solo guitar martinete (flamenco joke - we're full of those! [:D]). Your goal for each palo should be to understand the compás, the typical chord structures, and learn a few simple falsetas that you can string together and get a feel for the aire of the palo. Jason's site is a good place to go, or José Tanaka's, or Pedro Cortés's.... take Skype lessons with Ricardo, he's awesome!

Pues, gracias por toda la informacion! Parece, que tengo que comprar un golpeador por el salud de la guitarra mia[:D] ok enough spanish. What is the general consensus on Adam del montes site? It is what ive used since (this is is a pretty big stereotype btw) that he is more legit (which sounds more spanish, del monte or Tanaka?) than some of the other online maestros. Should I stick with this, or are there better methods (other of course than a real live teacher)? Another thing, knowing very little about guitars other than how to play some scales and chords, I bought a JPerez Mod 610. Personally I love it and am super happy with the purchase, afterall its the guitar player that gets the sound out of a guitar, not the guitar its self BUT is this a pretty good entry level guitar, or should i might have gotten something else - too late now I guess, but just curious. another thanks in advance

Del Monte is a fake name (it's a brand of canned vegetables) I think he's Israeli or something. Tanaka is (obviously) Japanese. Both are great guitarists and there is much to learn from each of their respective sites. I'd like to add Jason Mcguire to your list. I know him personally and can attest to his incredible musicality and willingness to help anyone who's interested in learning about Flamenco. Are you an experienced guitar player? Do you know chords or scales (pentatonic, at least?) I recommend learning these as a foundation first - it will make everything much easier in the future.
