hi everyone

i'm interested very much in flamenco pop - if i can call it that - i can do most lead stuff but there is a bit of rhythmn i would like some help with

the rhythmn in question can be seen on a youtube video featuring paco cepero playing lead and another guitarist playing rhythmn. the tune is called Aqua Marina (rumba flamenco guitar). i can't post links so bung in the title and you'll find it i'm sure


my question is does anyone know how the rhythmn is played? it's probably very simple indeed and i'd love to know how it's done!!

any help would be great!

John,

I am not 100% sure on this one, but I think Rumbas have 4 beats per bar with an accent on the 2nd and 4th beats. I don't think they are as rhythmically complex as some of the more traditional palos.
