Some of the possible topics that come to mind: -Cante accompaniment thread. (Would be interesting to discuss each form separately and in detail. Maybe compile a catalog of widely used letras for each palo, and expand from then on. Discuss harmonic and rhythmic variations that are possible when accompanying. Would be interesting to have a cantaor who would be willing to get involved and maybe record some of the letras with no guitar for practice.) -Baile accompaniment thread. (Discuss the structures of different palos and the interaction between dancers, singers and guitarists. What to expect, what signals to look for, etc. Provide examples, discuss challenges. Would really be interesting for newbies like myself.) -Palmas. (How about sharing some of the traditional and modern patterns for all the palos, for one or more palmeros.) -Cajon. (Similar to palmas, some basic rhythms and variations.) -Rhythm thread. (I think I already started one some time ago, but it died off. What I would like to see is some of the cool new variations demonstrated and explained, as well as links to video or audio of what you find interesting or just enjoy a lot. How about also a collection of remates.) -Flamenco news. (Post anything and everything you find important.) -Young emerging artists. (Especially if you live in Spain, please post videos or simply provide names of people who we may want to know, who we need to watch out for :) Anyone you find good, special or simply like for whatever reason.) -Technical exercises for guitarists. (Helpful or simply cool exercises for all the different techniques. I can really be helpful there.) -List of regular flamenco events by area. (Regular gigs in whatever restaurant, dance classes, guitar classes, cante classes, cajon/palmas classes, juergas. Also give contact information of local flamenco societies.) -Flamenco humor. (Funny stories, anecdotes to release some occasional tension.) Also, be more active posting info of upcoming concerts/workshops/juergas. There is nothing like finding out you missed something special.
