ORIGINAL: Fisch Oh my bad, I'm so use to not using the names of the scales at all sorry.... That's why I'm asking for a reference. Everyone I have learnt with can explain it playing wise but never theory wise ;) And you're right it should be B7 not Bb, I never even use the names, lol. I would first advise to ignore it (scale mode route) as per flamenco discipline...all you need to know is neatly contained in the music of the maestros which you SHOULD be studying (as opposed to jumping into "your own thing" composing and improvising). Once you have studied a lot of the maestros falsetas and rhythms, it becomes a matter of personal taste when putting together your own personal falsetas and rhythms. In the world of flamenco, it is not really about specific scales and such except in special situations. Sabicas used to run chromatic scales as he pleased....because actually flamenco is tonal music that makes use of the entire chromatic spectrum. If you simply copy the masters you will see better what YOU can do on your own. Now if you WANT to learn music theory lingo, and better understand the guitar as an instrument, generally speaking, look no further than understanding the circle of 5ths. YOu can find that info free on line. It relates keys and scales and chords all together ....and if you get the idea there, all the modes too. In terms of application, not just finger exercise. If you want something more cerebral and specific, here is a tutorial I made breaking down in detail a tune by Paco, McLaughlin and Dimeola, that is neither FLAMENCO nor JAZZ, but is a deliberate sophisticated fusion that makes uses of many elements. Specific scales are discussed and you can clearly see how they might relate to flamenco music interms of guitar falsetas or improvisation. Part 1 is just the harmonic break down of the tune, part two is all the scales and stuff. Part 1 http://youtu.be/bZDsYH1EiNE Part 2 http://youtu.be/1Z1MUfOi8Io
