Tienes que aprender el diapasón. Hay tres inversiones básicos: es decir que, con un barré, se pueden tocar por todo el diapasón. Son los acordes de C, E, A. Para acompañar el cante, debes saber tocar por los tres inversiones. Hoy, en Cádiz, Alegrías se toca en C. Las Cantiñas se tocan en E. Nada se toca en A. (Hablo del costumbre actual.) El baile por Alegrías se acompaña en E. Porque, normalmente, los cantaores meten muchas cantiñas, y más importante, eso felicita el cambio a bulerías de Cádiz (la que se toca en E).

Diego canta en mi (E) Vale! gracias. I think i understand it now Sorry if my questions sounds dumbee, but this C = E accompaniment was something i realized only a few days ago (while looking in yutu). Maybe this is a super_obvious thing for most members here, but I lack theoritical and experientical stuff Anyway the funny thing is that i searched on the foro database before asking but i found nothing interesting. Than today i search for something else, and i enter a word that has nothing to do with this subject and i found a 2006 thread where Maestro Ricardo post this comment : quote:
...You play Alegrias, Mirabra, Caracoles, Romeras (all are in the family of Cantinas), in whatever key the singer wants depending on his or her range. Deeper voices work for C major, E major for middle voices, and women usually sing in A major, all with possible capo. Cmajor capo 5 or E major capo 1 are the same key, so the guitarist has that choice (for example). It depends a lot on the "macho" letra that is sung last and has a wide range of notes. For baile, it is more typical to play E major, where as a cante solo would be in C major (giving the singer more room to go high)... Damn!! what i need to do is to compil Ricado's post, print it and made a book
