Paco de Lucía Fandango Oddness
This is the introduction to Ni que me manden a mí, which is on Arte y Majestad. It's a beautiful falseta; but it seems to start on the 5, which is very strange.

Did I make a mistake?
Not weird. It is half compas phrase, if you think in 12's. It is a normal place to start a phrase (if you count the first note as beat 5, you can start the same phrase on 5 or 11), if you want a more square version you can repeat the first two measures after giving a normal compas phrase, but starting where the E rasgueado usually goes.
The really weird stuff is not even a nice half compas like this, I mean like odd measures of 3 tossed in or left off for nothing.
