spanish or mexican can be classical music or mariache to flemco each requires a substancial knowledge of the rudiments of scale construction,especally classic the spanish form uses fingerpicking as dose the flemco music,it has a lot of fire and take time to learn but so dose anything if you wish or want to do it.

A lot of spanish style songs are in the dorian mode.  You need to know scales to understand modes.  Once you know scales and the dorian mode, you'll be playing latin style music much more easily.

call me a traditionalist i prefer flemenco without the bells and whistles,perhaps he appeals to {as it seems} a younger audience and some older people also.he is an excellent musician and very creative but not my cup of tea,great vidio thanks for the link
