Hi, hando. Welcome to the foro. In response to your request for advice, here are a few suggestions: 1) To make sure you're on the right track and not cultivating bad habits, find a good flamenco guitar teacher. If none is available locally, you might want to consider skype lessons with Ricardo Marlow. 2) Playing in compas is as important as all of the cool right-hand techniques (assuming you're right-handed). So, in addition to learning the main palos (e.g. tangos, solea, solea por bulerias, bulerias, and alegrias), make sure you work on your sense of timing and rhythm. 3) In addition to lessons of some sort, here's a great instructional DVD oriented towards intermediate and advanced players: https://www.lasonanta.eu/en/flamenco-clases-de-guitarra-dvd-partituras/la-guitarra-flamenca-de-gerardo-nu-ez-dvd-book.html
