As a hobbyist player (about 60-90 mins everyday) how many palos should I learn? I could immerse myself in one palo playing many compas variations, adornos, falsetas, styles, etc. Or should I progress through many (as many course books seem to encourage)? Or look at a group of similar palos? Or what would be a happy medium? as a hobbyist player, just do what you want. if you like solea, play that. if you like bulerias, play that. it doesn't matter as long as you enjoy it. i have played for dance classes for years so i have a lot of bits and pieces that i have learned and played for dance classes and choreographies. I can play a bit of just about every palo, even if it is only basic compas, or basic compas and a few fills and variations. If and when a palo gets asked for i can use the basic stuff i know and expand as i go along. The palos that are used more often I have more material for, so I have more stuff for solea, siguiriyas, bulerias, tangos, fandangos, alegrias, sevillanas etc. but a lot of that stuff is in various states of disrepair if i haven't used or revisited it lately. I also have complete "solos" that i have learned from recordings that i play, and a few solos i have made up.
