And but they keep answering me like its impossible to learn flamenco without the ability to play "simple genre" and its useless to play alone because people might wont accept flamenco of its complexity so they persuade me to do a fusion Hi qzack, Playing simple genre first before learning flamenco...Well, yeah, you can always pick up electric guitar and play a bunch of power chords. It for sure would get you jamming right away! You would develop your right and left hand FOR ELECTRIC guitar. Best bet is learning the AMERCIAN Blues which has a 1, 4, 5, chord progression that you can solo over.. I mean you can learn anything in Rock, Metal, Punk, Blues, Pop, etc. and entertain your friends and the masses.. However, I don't think being able to play those types of style will prepare you for being a flamenco guitarist!!! Learning and playing flamenco is a whole different world and will take some time! It may not give you IMMEDIATE SATISFACTION the way popular music will. I've been playing electric guitar for 8 years and jam rock, metal, blues, and cool semi jazz [;)] To me when switching from electric guitar over to flamenco, I felt like I was learning a whole new instrument... But, I LOVE it and I really don't care whether my friends, family understand it.. If it were up to them I should be on stage rocking out to a bunch of licks with the wah wah pedal... The bottom line is if you are interested in other styles of music, maybe it would be better to invest in a cheap electric guitar! Test the waters and see if you even like playing and practicing guitar...If you do then switch over to flamenco guitar... However, If YOUR PASSION IS TRULY FLAMENCO, then forget about rock, pop, etc. and learn flamenco guitar! Kalo
