Any player studying flamenco has to play seguiriya! Seguiriya is probably the most hardcore palo of all.
How to play seguiriya?
Seguiriya shares the same 12-beat structure with many other others and the similarity starts and ends there. The compas structure has such a peculiar accent pattern that it is almost futile to count 12 beats to make sense of it. Some suggest using the 12-beat pattern and start counting at 8 so that the accents repeat the ones used in the other palos, others simply start at 12 and force the accents on it.
But generally many experienced players conceptualize the Seguiriya compas as follows:
1 * 2 * 3 * * 4 * * 5 *
I designed the visual metronome myself to reflect this pattern.
