RE: atrafana exercises-by heart ? (in reply to rafapak)
No.
You would be best getting a few online lessons with a tutor like Ricardo, Grisha, or John Walsh to get a good grounding. Then you will then, at least, have some basis for moving forward correctly and safely.
In a one hour personal session with a tutor you will get most of these questions you're posting answered and you will feel happier.
RE: atrafana exercises-by heart ? (in reply to rafapak)
Rafapak, I think I bought the "Flamenco Guitar Fundamentals" course from atrafana for $45 which comes with all the videos, and tab. I didn't download those 101 and 102 free videos from YouTube. That fundamentals course is totally worth $45, the multiple camera angles and ability to slow the videos down is excellent for learning proper technique. I agree, definitely get live lesson help but for 45 bucks this is foolproof. And yes a lot of this stuff you will learn by heart because it's the building blocks of solea, bulerias... definitely get some lessons from Ricardo and any of the other gurus on here that's doing vid lessons and they will quickly point out your errors.
I tried to send you a private message with this info but it didn't go through, and I'm too lazy to do it again😆
