Beautiful Guajiras Falsetas? 
Anyone know any beautiful but easy guajiras falsetas? The chords below have a lovely sound, so has someone seen anything or play a falseta with them that is super easy and that you can play drunk if you have to? Any suggestions?

Dm/B, Amaj7, F#7, Bminor7, E7,A

Thanks, i'd love you to add that to your lessons one day when you get a chance, something easy that fits that beginner/intermediate gap with your interpretation. You got a lot on your plate so no worries if you don't. I will fool around with it as best I can. Thanks again Jason!

Here is a quick video I just made messing around with it. Just an idea.....

Guajira Improv Idea

Hope it helps. I will refine it and make a lesson out of it soon. Thanks for the suggestion its a great one BTW.

Wow, that is what I am talking about! That brought a real smile to my face. Make it a bit easier and you have got something that fits that gap and is beautiful, a perfect lesson. I will steal from that video if you don't mind! PS I look forward to that lesson!!!

Be my guest. Take it and make something out of it. Finish the idea. It will be cool to hear where you take it. Perhaps we could make a compositon project out of it. Intersted parties could do their interpretation and refinement with the goal of keeping it simple in mind. We pick the best one and then..... I steal it anf make a lesson out of it.

Just a thought..... too many challenges going on at the moment, but if anyones interested .......

Great stuff! theres just not much about the guajira out there ( not talking about falsetas) just ideas on acompaning

i transcribed all the falsetas i like from compas cds and stuff from c sauras "flamenco" video ...second one i use all the time..first one works alot better with 2 guitars..

the girls now wanna do a guajira..i have enough falsetas /melodic stuff...just not enough examples and ideas of different ways to acompany it/the rithmical stuff ( unlike, the more standard palos you dont see alot of it on flamenco with dancers dvds)...we did it at a gig once and the rithm part felled like it went on and on forever and it was way too repetative lol

i need to rethink some more variety in the rithm etc

Hey, Flo, do you have the solo compas CD for guajiras? There is a fair bit of variety on that for accompaning, like I think it is 8 minutes or so and doesn't get boring, but it can be hypnotic. Hynotic can be nice to... If you don't have it let me know... ps your sevillana video ain't on youtube anymore... drats, I was looking for it again tonight.

Jason has a Guajiras accompaniement idea also, a little bit different again, sign up for 3 days and check it out. He tries to incorporate some cuban rhythms into it iirc.
