Unless you are trying to learn flamenco. In which case you only need compas and a teacher to show you proper techniques for falsetas. It really depends on what one wants to do with his flamenco skills. I find it very important to know scales as it's very useful in every type of music This is very very useful to know for every guitarist: The minor/major scale (Aminor and C major here): If you remember that pattern(Takes maybe 1-4 weeks to remember) you know also how to play modes as they are in the pattern, just the starting point is different, such as phrygian(you start on E), dorian (D), mixolydian (G) etc. Of course the starting notes change depending on your key but the pattern is the same. Alot of music theory can be understood just by knowing what is going on in the pattern above. In flamenco they use phrygian dominant scale ALOT(altough often used together with "basic" phrygian), which is pretty much the same scale as above(when playing in E) but the note behind the A is half step
