Hi yes there are many ways that can help you compose some that come to mind : 1 Listen to cante cd and emulate the singing in a falseta , once you have the melody you decide how close or how far to the original cant you wanna stay. 2. Look at the old school falsetas, do it note by note at first , then chage or substitute notes 1 by one while keeping the feel and compas , again you decide how far or how close to the original you stay 3. I think is the most important, stay open to all styles of music because you can learn something from every style, you might find a melody that you like in a Brasilian guitar solo , you can take that change the key or keep it and adapt it for a flamenco palo. I think this days a flamenco guitarist has to be educated in many styles and keys, they almost have to be more universal than any other style in the world, the acorde (rythm) has to have much Aire and the Falseta has to be not only musicaly melodic but it has to go somewhere and keep the same theme of all the other falsetas in the solo. But thats just theory to simplify you be yourself , make the melody that speaks to you most and you cant go wrong, and if you dont you learn from it. From what I have heard youre doing greate with composing. I think our reason to learning other pples music is just to get used to the technique, keys and style and phrasing and ideas of how something should sound etc once you get used to that youl get better at telling your own story. Is funny when I knew nothing I was composing all day and coming up with stuff, now I am never happy with anything I think , I have about 15 minutes of my own music and only about 3 minutes that i am proud of, but next week il probably listen to it again and think that is piss weak, scrap it all and start over hehe. I love everything Duende ( Henrik ) comes up with, the problem is that i think of a brilliant falseta and before I get to even upload it here Henrik has allready done it. His problem is that he will play something brilliant to me then i say thats greate man you should use that , the next day hel play something else brilliant but he forghets the brilliant thing he did the day before and so on.. lol Just kidding Henrik , youre my homeboy you know that !!
