Ask HN: How do you learn Spanish guitar?

I've recently become interested in Spanish guitar, particularly the Gypsy and flamenco styles, but I don't know how to get started. Are there any beginner textbooks or videos available? I previously bought a book that started with scale exercises, which I found very tedious, and ended up giving up. Thank you very much.

If you gave up on scales, you aren't going to learn any kind of guitar other than churchband boomchunk.

This comment may be strongly worded and thus downvoted but true. To achieve a certain level of technical excellence, tedious and repeated practice is definitely necessary.
