solea

I am looking for a very basic solea to practice. Iknow it starts e chord, e7, f, remate, and then f e7 f and ending on a e remate. I am practicing arpeggio patterns in that configuration and am wondering is this correct and looking for enhancements to that sequence. If anyone has one or two pls forward.

How basic do you want? The Soleares in Paco Pena's "Toques Flamencos" is pretty straightforward and contains the different parts of the palos. You can buy it from Amazon now with CD.

I have the DVDs but cannot practise in front of the TV - prefer to listen to a CD. If you are just starting out on the Soleares I would recommend Manual Granados Didactica I with CD - he starts really slow but ramps up quickly.

My only criticism is that he does not treat the palo as a whole but you will get a feel for the arpeggios and compas.

Pena is intended for intermediate players - depends on your level of technique.
