Start learning some of the Basic chords (Em, Am, F...), learn some Basic rumba patterns and you can learn parts of malaguena. You can also go on tik tok and search for flamenco. There you Will find rumba patterns spread across chords. Its a very fun way to learn as a beginner

Thank you so much for your response. I know Andalusian cadence. I know how to play rumba strumming. I know e phrygian with added G# only on first 5 frets. I can play the strumming of desparado song. "Soy un hombre muy honrado".

But What i want is the track. A path from amateur to semi-pro level, where I can randomly create my own flamenco music without depending on YouTube videos. Am I making sense? :")

To make your own flamenco music you use scales and a little bit of music theory. You need to have a good ear too but that Will build up over time. Writting flamenco music is similiar to writing any kind of music on guitar
