The opening to El Viejin ' Mi Graciosa' is not too hard. Since Florian introduced me (thank you) I am also very inspired by Cano roto but most is beyond me. However I am finding that the aire and soniquete is influencing my playing. I am less a solo player and don't learn pieces but take ideas where I can. I think this is how we develop our own torque even if we can't repicate entirely we can be influenced taking chords, rasgeo (e.g. El Nani's), compas, remates, cierres, fragments of falsetas etc.. and integrating them. Getting used to the different modern tunings and keys is one thing I have been doing. Manuel Valencia solea por bulerias video is good for dropped B ideas, he plays torque libre at that start and it's easy to pick loads of good chords from this. Maybe this is a way in for us, having a feeling for the scales chords and underlying compas would give a grounding for the falsetas. As this a good approach for flamenco in general we could use it here too, also we can then enjoy our playing now and grow rather than feeling things are out of our reach? I'm sure there's always going to be something in flamenco out of my reach! Good luck Deniz, I really enjoyed your Rondena that your posted a while back, look forward to see more. (I have also gone all out on doing technical exercises like never before and it's helping so I am keeping on going)

Im not too proud to admit that the stuff that inspires me most is unfortunately hard to play and exceeds my abilities by far. Ole for your willingness to share your doubts with us. I think you shouldn't feel bad because it doesn't make sense to try to learn the difficult modern stuff, unless of course you've already got highly developed hands, sense of rhythm, knowledge of many falsetas, etc. So I think it's good that you're having doubts. But looking for an easy shortcut is no solution. I suggest you learn to appreciate slightly older bulerías, mainly Morao, Parrilla and Cepero. But if you really don't like that, learn Moraíto's bulerías. There are plenty of videos and recordings available, and I guarantee that you'll find his playing to be challenging IF you enjoy it enough to keep at it for a few years and IF you're honest with yourself about how well you're reproducing his ideas (I'm not saying you aren't honest with yourself). Most guitarists change things to make them easier to play. I don't disagree entirely, but I think it's better to be very selective about what you decide to keep working on and to do those things right. That means studying many, many recordings, rejecting most of the ideas and keeping just a few. Sometimes you can improve a falseta, but it's best to come to that conclusion after many hours of playing the falseta (I call it "quarantine"). I don't know how anyone can feel that they're being nourished by an exclusive diet of difficult modern toque.
