The real challenge is to play this falseta starting at 4.13!

Here is the run more clearly illustrated. It is a 48-note run felt in sixteenths.

Cortes plays it at roughly 225 bpm.

Here's my take at a modest 60 bpm.

So here's my take for starters. It's at 60 bpm, and I've felt it as sixteenths, and started it on the downbeat (which leaves the last up beat of the run to have one note instead of two, considering the run is 47 notes long).

Cortes plays it at roughly 225 bpm.

Now make it a bulería, Ramzi!!

Ok, I wanted to practice the Paco bulerias picado falseta with a track at a MUCH slower tempo than these guys. I want to force myself to listen more than just play. I can probably take it up a few notches but I like this kind of practice. Anyway here it is.

Ole! JG, great tone and attack.

I find your playing so inspiring. I think it's because you are so talented and yet humble. Allowing us to see your process makes what seemed unreachable, well still out of reach but worth pursuing!

I think it's great you are now uploading with compas backing.

Thanks Orson. I'm trying to get more into the habit of playing with a compas track. Now only if my guitar stayed in tune, but I think Ramzi is getting me a tuner for Christmas.

My guitar teacher (who recently signed up for this forum, by the way!) just introduced me to some really, really, really simple bulerias last week and we played some more this week in our lesson.

JG, that was really seriously inspiring. Very melodic, musical, and incredibly well-played 27 seconds of guitar right there. Definitely something to shoot for in the future!

Just curious...how "slow" was that? How many bpm?

Thanks ddk.

Thank you vuduchyld. My guess would be around 168. I could be wrong, not sure.

You play very cleanly JG. Its still a pretty fast set of triplets even at the pace you perform it here. Just to check I think you are doing this. Is that correct?

Your tab is correct Pimientito. The last set is:

As a variation, I think Paco is doing this on the video (but he is extremely fast indeed) With a bit of warm up I can get it to your speed JG, but Pacos is impossible....especially with the same eveness of finger stroke and power.

Ok, i'm giving this one a shot. It's not perfect but felt like posting it anyway. I come in a bit early starting the falseta. The triplets are tricky to get them smooth at fast tempo.

Thanks Kevin. I felt I could have played this one better but my nails are on the "too short" side now so I cannot catch the strings exactly where I want to.
