Adam, so is it mandatory to have the 7 and 8 , or 1 2 (3) 4 5 (6) 7 (8) 9 (10) 11 (12),,or accent on the 7 and 8?? now i have hear that a lot of Flamencos start the accent on 12? is this true or not?

Thank you for ur time!!

@espino661 , In Soleá the counting starts on 1. In Alegría, in the dance sometimes on 12. The accents in the basic structure fall on 3,6,8,10,12 or 3,7,8,10,12. However, there are other patterns that run inside those basic structures which are hard to write down, without at least music notation. Its best to demonstrate. As far as musical phrases, they are composed around the basic compás structures but they play around them and with them. It's like a game of rhythmic dialogue...Take care!

Man, you're good!

Amazing playing, Adam. You know all about what you're talking about, and speak and teach very clearly.

You show that brain and understanding is as important as the music itself.

Very great videos. Subscribing rightaway! :)

Keep up the good work.

well then you are going to have to shut up and put up some money to learn some "riffs". The art of flamenco is a strict undertaking requiring more than just a few riffs to get you through the process.

muy buen video muy instructivo y muy explicito.

Pero creo que olvidaste un detalle muy importante que es el REMATE en los tiempos 10,11 y 12 aunque no se utiliza siempre es lo que distinge a la SOLEA y por lo tanto creo que no se debe pasar por alto.

Gracias por el video buen toque felicitaciones por eso y un saludo
