It is well known that flamenco is a very codified style, and that the players of the flamenca guitar have to master those established forms. But, as with every tradition, it did start somewhere, namely with the advanced artistry of Ramon Montoya. The Spanish guitarist gave most cantes their definitive form during the first half of the twentieth century, and his powerful personality was the first example of a solo flamenco player, a path that many followed after him.
