Well nothing wrong with it, but it is a more advanced thing that is all. Flamenco does not have to be a complete arranged solo, but it CAN be, and is by the maestros often. The point of reiterrating it is for folks learning and getting "stuck" on a piece. Once the student gets the concept of falsetas and improvisation, accomp, etc, nothing wrong with memorizing "Impetu" by Escudero. Or "La Barrosa", or whatever. But if your perfermance tempo is half what it is supposed to be.... Point being if you can perform pro and play in rhythm, do whatever the hell you want. But if you are learning how to play bulerias, don't learn an entire piece, learn strumming patterns and easy falsetas first. Unlike Bach, you are allowed to skip hard sections, or save them until your technique develops. E. Sanlucar is good because they are short, but there are classics by Ramon Montoya, Sabicas , Escudero etc. Nothing easy though, sorry. How about Juan Serrano's book? Ricardo
