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.

A teacher is helpful, but they will make you do scales too. Honestly though learning the tradition from someone directly is the best way to learn an art style. Plus a person can explain better to you why scales matter and push you to get through the tedium so you can start doing fun stuff like playing songs.
