Paco de Lucía Fandango Oddness

This is the introduction to Ni que me manden a mí, which is on Arte y Majestad. It's a beautiful falseta; but it seems to start on the 5, which is very strange.

Did I make a mistake?

Not weird. It is half compas phrase, if you think in 12's. It is a normal place to start a phrase (if you count the first note as beat 5, you can start the same phrase on 5 or 11), if you want a more square version you can repeat the first two measures after giving a normal compas phrase, but starting where the E rasgueado usually goes.

The really weird stuff is not even a nice half compas like this, I mean like odd measures of 3 tossed in or left off for nothing.

Thanks a lot, Ricardo. Why didn’t I notice that it was a half-compás? Senility creeping on, I guess.

To me, that’s just out of compás, and I’m with Ramón Montoya on that. Not that anyone need care what think.
