Fandangos DeH falsetas por baile

Played Fandangos De Huelva for the first time for the dance class last night. Had a blast and my Eliasson blanca sounded AWESOME

Who needs amps at dance classes?

Anyhow, we have a show coming up in a few weeks - no singer- and I need some falsetas that will work well with the dancers. All the stuff I can find is a bit too fancy, difficult and 'solo guitar' orientated, or its Juan Martin..

Anyone got some cool falsetas to share/point me at that are fairly easy to cram?

Don't have it, though I've seen the video. Its on Youtube so I could work them out but I am a bit short of time.

Hi Jon,
you could create some chord progessions in place of the coplas-almost as good as a falseta and easy to do. Then just appregiate or add melody notes as needed

Resolve into the standard F E7 Am G F thing.

Hiya Mark, yeah I was kind of doing thatalready, just thought a bit more melody would be nice., and a bit more variety.

Actually I've just found a nice easy trad falseta by Norman Kliman that does just what you describe -fleshes out the tradional copla accompaniment. Number one here:

Jon

I agree with Doitsujin

Very good relation musical quality/ dificulty

I´ve send you a mail.

It makes me very glad that you like the guitar I made you and that it serves what you use it for.

Jon, I wasn't thinkin of the trad chords, but using different chords/progressions/voicings to create a modern sound in place of the coplas. But I agree that the Pepe stuff is excellent. I saw it on you tube yesterday. I've got the VHS, but not the book. And the stuff on Norman's site is cool too.
