I started my flamenco journey thinking, "I'd like to learn some flamenco chords and scales" only to realize that it just doesn't work like that. It's structure is so far away from traditional western music that you really have dig deep to even understand whats going on. Flamenco is the genre, within flamenco there's the palos(forms/types), then within the palos there's compas(chord & rhythm progressions) falsetas(solos), entradas, salidas, llamadas, and more that are kind of cues to tell the listener/dancer/singer whats going on and where your at in the song. Unfortunately, baby steps is the only way to do it, Juan Martin's book is great for introduction to the structure of the different palos. There's a Malaguena and a Taranto(less free version of Tarantas) in the book that can get your started and you can build from there. Last of all, get a teacher if possible, it really helps to clear up confusion and keep you from ingraining bad habits/techniques that can lead to poor sound and even injury.
