My congratulations to the winners, well deserved indeed! For me, Pluto, it was a great experience, though a bit scary -- first time i ever recorded my playing, and then gettin it scrutinized by a panel of sharp-eared experts like this one, ha! But I really want to thank the judges for taking the time and being fair and respectful. A particular thank you to Jason for those thorough comments. When I read that, something just clicked into place for me, something I'm sure I've heard alot of times, but never really understood or related my playing to -- the rhythm, the way the notes land in relation to the beat IS the music. So if I want to practice music, I practice that. So simple. Where have I been? Expect a new upload from me of this falseta in a month or so. Big thank yous and olés to everyone! Farus

Hola Kozz To get a handle on compás, a great exercise is to accompany a dance class. But if you can´t do this, playing a very basic rhythm along with a compás CD or a homemade tape loop will help. Complicated rhythms and falsetas come later. To develop a strong and regular rasgeado takes time and a metronome is useful. You do not have to play fast. Count one more beat than the rasgeado you are practising: if you are playing emai, a four stroke rasgeado, count in 5s and your lead finger will be different each time. This helps to avoid the "galloping horse" syndrome. Persevere with this kind of exercise every day. Suerte Sean
