Hola Romanza. Look out for a post on this forum by Thomas Whiteley. He normally signs with a link to his website, which has a lot of fine flamenco material. Also, get a DVD like the one Skai mentions. The fact that you can see what you are supposed to do helps a lot. Good luck and welcome

ORIGINAL: Doitsujin Why do we learn in shool math, a language, physics, biology, religion, sport, and so on at the same time? Why not at first math,..than a language..? Because It would take too much time. So if somebody wants to become a good flamencoguitarrist..he or she have to learn all together from beginning. And a baby which does 12compas palmas.. ^^ Nice story. But only a fairy story I think. My dog can bark the compas, too. Have you heard of the Steiner method ? They do not learn everything together but take time to absorb each subject, combining maths with art, science with movement. But we are not talking here of school anyway but of absorbing at a mother's knee. And I was talking of a toddler, not a baby, 18 months and walking already, and yes compás. I dont post here to make up stories but really seriously if your dog can bark in compás, post a recording. Kate

I understand Doit's point. He is saying you should not try to learn COMPLETELY one subject, because different things complement each other, and can help you learn faster. You should not be learning techniques, and only techniques, separate from rhythm, or specifically, the flamenco compas. Doing Palmas is a technique as well. Rasgueados ARE compas, etc....Too many students can do the speedy legado, quick scales, loud rasgueados, but with no rhythmic feel. You can do a lot in flamenco with just a few techniques, if you have learned them as part of the compas. But if you have ZERO techniques, how can you produce a rhythm? Ricardo
