Flamenco. Welcome to the Dark Side. What have you done ? You do realise that Flamenco is the 'Hotel California' of guitar music - you can check out any time, but you can never leave ? That rhythmic pulsation is called 'Compas' with a funny squiggly thing over the 'a'. Practice with a metronome, always. Find the centre of every beat, and accent, feel what it's like to drift a fraction away from it, before or after. Feel how the groove dies when you don't dominate, ride over the top and control it. There's no parallel in classical music. My advice would be to just sell your classicals right now. It's only a question of time [:D]
