RE: Basic Tangos (in reply to Leñador)

I personally have found that attempting to transcribe something really helps me understand what's going on, so if that's true for you too please ignore Leñador's suggestion to forget about writing it down. Transcribing is of course not necessary for learning the material, but if it suits your style of learning go for it! That said ... all your arrows are wrong. An "up" arrow (from bass to treble notes) should indicate a "down" stroke (also from bass to treble). You indicate the opposite. As Lenny said, you transcribed a C7 where it's typically a C, but the video uses a C7 so you transcribed it correctly. Also, typically you would use a Bb that looks like x10330 instead of x13330, but the video does show the latter so again you're technically correct ... For the golpe, you should make it look more like a normal note, with a stem, so we can see how much time it takes ... Your first measure looks a little funny because of the three eighth-note grouping - I would expect to see an eighth-note golpe plus a solitary eighth-note then a pair of tied eighth notes for the second beat. Lenny also says "Your[sic] missing all the light up strokes", (sorry Leñador, I can't bring myself to cite incorrect grammar, that's on me ... :-) which is true, but perhaps overly pedantic. If you transcribed it showing only the e, or only the e and b string being struck on the upstroke then it would look messy/complicated and would obscure the fact that the entire chord is being gripped the whole time. When you transcribe flamenco you have to make tradeoffs, and I think it's a typical and acceptable tradeoff to show the entire chord and assume the player knows that the upstrokes are supposed to hit mainly the trebles and the downstrokes are supposed to hit mainly the basses. That's part of the "swing" of flamenco which doesn't transcribe well.
