    Not just you. Brian May brought Steve Howe in to execute the complex flamenco-style classic guitar in “Innuendo” while Brian himself played the main electric guitar parts.

    So if Brian May can’t do it.. it’s fine.

    Ps. Practice. There is no other way. What you are trying to do is hard. Takes practice and dedication.

    Check out Melbay's catalog of books: https://www.melbay.com/Products/CategoryCenter/F36/Guitar%20...

    A lot of the books come with digital downloads of PDFs of the sheet music / tabs along with the author performing the pieces on MP3s.

    Get set up with a footstool, and position yourself in front of a computer screen with the PDFs open to practice.

    I recommend finding a good teacher who specialises in Flamenco if that's where your interest lies. They can help you navigate the various rhythms and techniques which are quite particular to the style. In-personal ideally, though I'm sure you can find someone who can teach via video call too.

    I found very tedious, and ended up giving up

    Technically, you paused and could restart this afternoon or next year or twenty years from now…

    I've recently become interested

    Unless you are guitar virtuosic, against adult standards non-beginner level Spanish guitar competence is years ahead of you. That doesn’t mean you can’t have fun (and you probably should). But doing things you don’t do well is the only way to learn. Good luck.

    I once had a mystical encounter with a drunk guy on a train who advised me to learn Spanish guitar before turning 30.

    However, my path preordained by the universe was interrupted when I watched a professional flamenco tutorial and was put off by the teacher's long fingernails, which are apparently required to play, but which I found absolutely repulsive.
