Guitar Lessons
When you log in, the website structure is exactly the same…:
First of all, please note that the guitar lessons in video tutorials are JUST ONE SEGMENT OF THE WEBSITE.
In the main menu in /The Method/Flamenco Styles – there are
full video tutorial playlists, with APPROPRIATE LOOP PLAYERS BELOW. Also, there are CORRESPONDING PDF FILES BELOW in the main video window. While in /Software & Tools/Menu – there are corresponding SOFTWARE & TOOLS, (multi-track software players, a tuner, a scale finder, the metronome…) with their OWN, DEDICATED (and world-unique) FLAMENCO AUDIO SAMPLES DATABASES.
The Flamenco Guitar Lessons PDF Book should be printed out first, to have a hard copy of all the note text/score and tabs:

Understanding the difference between the APOYANDO and TIRANDO playing, and when which to use – is ABSOLUTELY THE MOST CRUCIAL ELEMENT IN BUILDING THE TONE ON THE SPANISH GUITAR. So, with the nails now at least partially formed, we must continue the development of the techniques. To start using both APOYANDO and TIRANDO techniques properly, right after PICADO (that is “apoyando”) – we must continue with the ARPEGIO (which is “tirando”). The best and absolutely the fastest way to master the most important Arpegio type on the Spanish guitar – is the most famous CLASSICAL GUITAR MASTERPIECE – ANONYMOUS ROMANCE. And right after that – there are guitar lessons on two of the most important, most beautiful, and also the most ever studied Arpegio musical studies. From the two fathers of Classical Guitar – Fernando Sor & Francisco Tarrega:

Of the biggest help in understanding the COMPÁS for any of the FLAMENCO STYLES will be the specially developed set of different software players:
First, the set of SINGLE-TRACK FLAMENCO LOOP PLAYERS – which are located under the main video window on all “palos” pages. But there is a whole page, dedicated to all four SINGLE-TRACK FLAMENCO LOOP PLAYERS, in the “Software & Tools” menu.
And second, (also in the “Software & Tools” menu), the specially developed MULTI-TRACK LOOP PLAYERS – are designed to give us the deepest possible insight into the very essence of the flamenco groove and its accents. All the audio tracks in both RUMBA & TANGOS (binary) and BULERIAS & ALEGRIAS (ternary) MULTI-TRACK loop players, have their dedicated sample sets databases. They ARE THE HIGHEST QUALITY ORGANIC RECORDINGS OF REAL INSTRUMENTS. Their slight “off the grid” hitpoints locations are what’s giving them a “human touch”. It makes them a WORLD UNIQUE database that can NEVER BE BORING TO OUR EARS..! It has nothing to do with any rhythm machine! It is, in fact, a part of a MULTITRACK RECORDING SOFTWARE with SOLO/MUTE buttons and a VOLUME slider, just like the multitrack recorder console in any digital music production studio. It’s offering the clearest insight into the production of flamenco music. … (The bigger the screen is, the better insight into the flamenco compás you will have..!) So, telephones – are NOT the best option to view the website. The screen should be at least the laptop size, even SCREENS ON TABLETS ARE TOO SMALL..!
