Don't forget, that alot of flamenco music is also improvisational, and you will have to venture in to that eventually. Taking all the technique (ras, picado, alzapua, fingerpicking, etc.) that you have learned or will learn, and try to mix them up to make your own music, and your own styles of playing, that is eventually if you're not already there. Try also to maintain and explore compas and syncopation while your at it. I find that this kind of exploration really does help alot in learning flamenco, or maintaining what you've got. With all the research that you may be doing it's a way to further your understanding of the music. You may use music that you know as a basis and point of departure, musically. The most excellant guitar has influences with origionality, and of course, interperatation. One day you will get it if you work, and some of you may already be there. It really does help to break the rules once in a while, tune it up, and you're ready to play. Also, if you can read and write music on stave paper, you can take notes on your own work. Writing out your ideas will help just as much. Comparing your notes with scores, and technique books, or other musican's notes is a whole world of it's own that is both fascinating and worth the while.
