Help!

I need reccomendations for a simple rumba for a flamenco beginner. I'm decent enough with classical guitar, years of marching band tought me rhythm and I can actually read music. Any suggestions? Fire away!

Be very careful about what you call the flamenco around here, the hardest thing to do is to try to convince them that anything is remotely flamenco that they may think is not. I'm not sure what they think about a rumba, but if you really want vie for their attention, don't mention that Sevillianas are flamenco, that you can blend flamenco with other forms, and if at all possible never say that people like Ottmar Liebart are great flamenco guitarists. You know all you've gotta do is...........I'm just joking with you, ask away and I'm sure that they will tell you!

ha ha ha ha ha ha! I am equipped for the politic of the foro......

Actually all questions are in deed valid here nekochan. You might learn a lot here.

I think I did.

You should probably start by introducing yourself to the foro and dropping in to a few posts for some random information too

A lot of the people here have been here a long time and have built a sort of community, and while they are mostly kind and generous with their time, it might not be a good idea to just ask for free advice straight away

There are a lot of TABs/music in the TABs section, maybe have a scroll through there
