Thanks for posting that man. I have been talking about this for years, use a slow click and feel the subdivisions between. He "weens himself off the metronome" that way. Also notice he keeps the foot going to help. You can see from this the goal to keep good internal time and how "potty training" subdividing and accenting metronomes don't help. While doing a 12 beat cycle is a lot, honestly to do what he was doing you could used the metronome to keep 2's (12,2,4,6,8,10), then 3's (12,3,6,9) and finally just the 6's (12,6)....all those I think are available for flamenco rhythms using a normal basic metronome. As a side note I had a guitar student a few years ago the grew up in my neighborhood but was special forces soldier. He got inspired by flamenco and had some talent, it was funny he looked like GI Joe! His mom was a jazz piano player. He said when he was a kid his best friend was Victor Wooten and they had the same Kung Fu teacher. Somehow in addition to that training Victor developed the skill of human tracking (look at the ground of foot prints and learn info about weight, direction, location etc). In fact he said Victor was possibly the BEST in the USA that he knew of. Pretty crazy. quote:
Once i learned a buleria falseta only using my foot/metronome. It turned out that i mixed it up (in hearing it out) so that it wouldnt stand against a compas loop. Then you learned it wrong somehow by adding or subtracting notes or spaces in time. I try to get students to loop a short phrase with foot but keep it medium speed to groove with. Add a note or just a couple at a time, but keep the groove going. Eventually the thing will add up to being "in compas". If any of you guys have tricky falseta compas wise for say bulerias, I will make a vid for you how to learn it.... or at least how I learn it and practice it to get it in compas that way.
