RE: Accents on Fandangos and Sevillanas (in reply to TANúñez)
No, I think you should offer Ron a swap, he's right handed, after all. I can get quite a lot of animated GIFs, let me see if can find one that Ron would like.

That's OK Zurdo....you have the "Zurdo Mono"! I'll take the Saltire as a provisional avatar.
By the way a professional (Spanish) flamenco player who has played for various dance companies showed me Fandangos de Huelva as Golpe, 2, 3 Golpe, 2, 3, Golpe, 2, 3, Golpe, 2,3....etc I must admit it did sound good when he did it, but I find it a bit unweildy, as I've always mentally thought of it the same as Andy. By the way he told me that's OK too, but to concentrate on the Golpe, 2, 3 as well. as dancers preferred to hear the Golpe on 1. I must admit he played it with a really driving and forceful rhythm compared to mine.

Thank you guy's for the help and Andy thank you very much for taking the time to post that audio. You can't get any more clear that having an audio demonstration. Much appreciated amigo.
