ORIGINAL: Mark2 Well, then my advice would be to get a teacher any way you can, be it Skype or in person. Take as many lessons as you can, listen to a lot of the music. Focus on learning compas above all, because without that you just won't sound good to anyone who knows flamenco. Don't wait years to start learning to play for dancers, and spend some time(more the better) listening to recordings with flamenco singing on them, figuring out the chord changes and inversions played behind the singer. the guitarist changes chords when the melody of the singing leads him to do so. Learn to recognize the when and why of that for the various flamenco forms. Practice techniques slowly and accurately so that you'll be able to execute them cleanly. And enjoy every minute of it, because it's amazing. Find other flamencos to practice with, because above all, flamenco is a communication between the participants, not simply a performance art. What a fantastically awesome reply....you've nutshelled what, why, how and made me want this even more than I did before reading your words and its not my thread,its not my question! Thank you! Best pink
