this post just goes to proove how much you know Howard, which makes your other post against me realy really brave. first off why is there a vs between the 2 ? accompaning dancers its an art in itself and no its not only strumming chords, it is so much more, its complete playing, falsetas, arpegio, picado, rasqueados etc, using the compas in a way you wouldnt use it in a solo, perhaps, playing offbeats against the feet of the dancer who is going on beat, or missing out certain parts on purpos to higlight etc. Open your eyes, see some new flamenco videos, watch El Torero with Antonio Canales or even Flamenco WOmen by Mike Figgs. there are guitarists who have made names for themselfs doing this. David Cerreduela, Jesus De Rosario, el Viejin, Paco Jarana Its ok to be ignorant , but becarefull cause to be ignorant and loud almost qualifies you to be president of United States .
