RE: Alegrías chord (in reply to Adam)

it's a C dominant 7th, which is used to pull to F. You can use that shape chord to build tension to pull to any F shaped chord in the same position. But in general, any dominant 7th chord will lead you a fifth down (or a fourth up, however you think of it.) So in Alegrias, think of E7 to A, C#7 (same chord shape we're talking about) to Fm7. In Bulerias, A7 to Dm, G7 to C, C7 to F. Solea, E7 to Am, D7 to G, G7 to C. etc. It doesn't matter what chord shape you use, it'll have the same effect. Sorry for rambling. This was a good excuse to try to remember stuff I learned in music theory class. Stuff that I, hopefully, learned correctly.
