ORIGINAL: ZaidRockso Hey guys, when i was younger i was mostly into heavy rock and what not, and the way i progressed my playing was by covering other band's music, and slowly developed my own style and technique. Ever since i've started flamenco all i've been doing is getting comfortable with compas, and right hand techniques, but i've yet to learn anyone's music, i've written more songs than i've learnt, which doesn't seem like the norm, now i'm not at the level to cover PDL or Vicente Amigo or Tomatito etc, can you guys recommend a specific guitarist who has alot of stuff to play for that aren't too advanced, like when i was younger, almost every intro to metallica songs were easy, and so on. Thanks Let me ask you, when you were in the cover band did they allow you to only play the intro of one song, the middle part of another, the ending of another, etc...only the parts you could handle or like? Or did you have to do the entire tune front to back? You see flamenco is NOT like that. You actually can learn only bits and pieces of things you can actually handle. THe point is to gather enough material of ONE form to construct a solo that you can actually execute at speed etc. THere is plenty of small things you can take from all those mentioned above. You are allowed to avoid the things outside of your technique or speed ability. THat is the beauty of flamenco. IF you look closer at say, Tomatito, he infact plays SOME things of Paco quite often, yet he clearly can't play entire pieces the exact same. That is totally the POINT of learning from the maestros. Even someone like Paco Peña will have things up there that are as difficult to interpret as Vicente or any modern player (probably things he snatched from Nino Ricardo or Sabicas anyway).
