Interesting.. Maybe I should get a capo, seems like it will get me more girls..
On the other hand, more girls means less playing.. Ok, that's "zero fret" for me
Just curious...how long have you been playing guitar? How long have you been playing flamenco? I've been playing guitar for 25 years and flamenco about a year. I used to be oddly resistant to the notion of a capo, but now I would consider it indispensable.
I sing, also (though not so much flamenco), and I'm generally pretty good at transposing songs into whatever key I need them to be in so that I can sing and play in either an open position or whatever my desired fretboard place might be. For 25 years, I never used a capo for anything I played before flamenco...I just transposed it.
It's tempting to think that you can do that with flamenco, but in my experience, a solea just will NEVER sound like a solea should sound if you are resolving to F# instead of E or if you are trying to play some fancy-pants 7-8-9 beat stuff in A# instead of F.
It's OK...really, it doesn't make you any less of a man or less of a player! I promise! H

the best way ...is the way for you,,,,,,,,,,,,,
do not rely on your technology....but on your ears and guitar........
for example .I move my right hand further forward for a continiuos rasguardo and back for the picado section ...............
So Im trying to get it all sounding good "live " as it were.
and that is the best thing to do.
if you have some friends to listen to you .ask them. even if they are not musicians .. not important ...they have ears and have an opinion....play it this way ....play it that way ..........or
record it , a few times..then be your own critic,,,,,,,,,,,
this is reality...messing about and developing your own style..which is something that suits you ......
as for recording ......all the work is already done , and thats the work .......bit of EQ for extra treble or bass...touch of reverb for the big sound ....and thats about it ...and thats about even tooo much..........
If you like it ....we will ...
if you dont.......................
