I know nothing about letras, maybe thats the key to the riddle lol I enjoy the singing from a listeners standpoint but I feel dumb even as a listener for not knowing exactly where the chord should change. I know what chord is coming but I always feel that it should change earlier than it really does. Its like playing El Pele's "Como quieres que te quiera"... very simple chords but a pain in the butt to have a feel for where they change lol its like anything else...if you never studied it you wont know it...but if u start looking at it, you will slowly learn it if you are interested in it, go in, disect it, transcribe the chords and the strumming...slow it down and work out small parts at the time, soon you will hear recurring patterns etc.. the hardest thing is the starting and knowing which is the first step to take.. pick one audio focus on a a small section ...and transcribe the guitar as you would any falseta you like, get as many details as possible...the chords, where...the strumming etc..do you know the typical bulerias por medio accompanying chords ? 99% of the time it will be one of the 7 or 8 chords it can be, as u learn more that gets narrowed down...if you know which they are...cuts down your guessing time.. try it, have a go, make a audio of it, upload it on the cante thread...if you make a mistake, (you probably will, we all do) we will try to help and correct it...taking that first step is the hardest...after that , everything kind of slowly starts falling into its own place.. weather you get a singer to practice with or not, you will need to do this things before it and understand certain parts on your own or another approach...any of the cante tracks without guitar on that thread also have a version someone did with guitar...download both versions....the chords, key and strumming are already worked out for you...transcribe and copy that
