Piwin -> RE: Just started on Flamenco! Now what? (Jun. 12 2016 9:55:36)

I second chester's advice of finding a teacher. If there aren't any in your area, there's also the option of taking classes via Skype, including from some people here on the foro who are set up for this kind of thing. For fretboard width, I'd say focusing on the position of your thumb (fretting hand) should go a long ways in helping you with that (especially if you're coming from electric/acoustic guitar), i.e. having it placed in the middle of the neck (not necessarily right in the middle, it just a rule of thumb -har har). For string tension, maybe (arguably) lower tension is easier to play, but higher tension is better for getting that flamenco sound IMO. For right-hand practice, the key issue when starting out is probably just getting the hand position right, which brings us back to the initial advice of finding a teacher who can show you/correct any mistakes. Have fun!
