solea por bulerias chords

Help please!

The dance class I play for is learning solea por bulerias - specifically Camaron's Romance del Amarga. I've played along with it but I'm not confident about choosing the right chords. Does anyone know or could easily hear the chords and could tell me what they are? I've got to learn it by next Wednesday so I'm hoping you can help

EDIT: is OK I've figured it out now - it's sounding OK. Well OK enough for the dance teacher to sing along to anyway

ailsa,

you subscribe to "accordes flamenco" yes? check issue 6, all the chords "por medio" for bul, tangos and sol x bul are done out. sadly it does not give chord progs, but if you experiment there's alot of cool stuff in there. if you dont have a copy, i can sort you out

best

harry

Thanks H - unfortunately I didn't start subscribing until issue 12, so don't have 6

All tips gratefully received!

hi Ailsa,

it's in E, capo 6, mostly E and F, the arpegio and alzapua fills on 7,8, 9 are standard solea fills/falsetitas

first change in the letra goes to Am then D7, G7, F back to E

so does the second one

third change has a few more nuances but basically goes G7, C, F back to E then repeat

the main falseta is also in Tomatito's solea "Soledad" from "Rosas Del Amor" cd, transcribed by Alain Faucher in Tomatito book

that should keep you going for a bit!

dug out a tab from an old guitar mag as i think this version is a slightly simplified/easier version of the falseta (but i haven't actually checked). hope it helps.

first attempt looks a bit fuzzy, trying again...

this now just looks a bit small, i had to resize as it was too big to upload. i can always email it as an attachment if you want.

Thanks for going to so much trouble Mark. Irony is I might not make it to class tomorrow anyway because the roads here are really icy. But I'll have it ready for next time anyway
