Hola Play the scale of C major. Carry it up to G (3rd fret 1st string) and down to E (6th string). Play anything you like using these notes while counting up to 10, one note for each beat. Do nothing for 2 beats. (The compas is 12 beats). Combine this with Simon´s Am, G, F, E chords, Play this as Am, G, F, E, E, E, F, E, F, E. This brings you to 10, so 2 silences will be a compas. If your teacher does not like this, or says it does not sound like flamenco, change your school. Sean

Want to sound flamenco? Well my first inclination is to say to spend a lot of time, effort, hard work, etc. and learn it the right way. But, I do understand the quandry. I would recommend a Veridales. Why? This style is often referred to as a "typical Spanish sounding" form. You will sound flamenco-ish, you will sound like a bullfight, you will sound "typically Spanish"???? Veridales uses the chords E, F, G, F# (all barrs of E) and is pretty straight forward. If you can play a Maleguena, you can play a Veridales. Just remember, when speaking the word, the "V" sounds more like a "B"

Here are some quick and easy phrases: 3/4 | E | E | F | G F# F| 3/4 | Am | G | F | E | Flamenco is not as easy as this. This is just the "fake book" method.

Composing a 'flamenco piece' is honestly plain stupid to me.. Simply right hand techniques might help, if you already know a bit. Maybe a simple rasguedo or substituting a flamenco tremolo for an easier classical one, just to make it seem 'flamenco' to your 'teacher'. Good luck...
