Does anyone know of a resource which lays out the basic harmonic, rhythmic and melodic structure of any Flamenco Palos, for the purpose of improvising a performance? Hi SteveGower, Welcome to the foro, Unfortunately I don't believe that you are going to find an easy way to instantly understand flamenco forms. Nor find a single resource that will enable an improvised performance. There are however many great resources available. Try the enquentro books and videos. You will first need to study each palo individually. Then learn and practice the techniques used to sound like a flamenco guitarist. You will also need to listen to, and learn the way the guitar follows the cante. And then learn examples of rhythm and falsetas for each style until you can recognize each palo. Sounding authentic will require you to be able to replicate the fundamental, and often repeated, sections, rhythms and passages that make each palo recognizable to other flamencos. With this familiarity you will be able to answer your questions. Without understanding this, picking up a chart and following chords and a time signature will have little to do with flamenco.
