this is an interesting topic quote:
I do remember seeing some advice about never forgetting your old falseta/pieces. but that's hard why not ? if you forgheting them it means you are not playing them anymore, if for whatever reason you are not wanting to play them why should it worry you if you forghet them i have the same problem..id imagine most people would, and i used to get fustrated...but i have to learn new things all the time for playing with dancers and other guitarists, new choreographies, new songs, new falsetas, new intros, new solos..the better u wanna be at them the less time u will spend on stuff that you are not really playing in the near future and the more you will try to perfect them.. i would rather play 2 palos well then mess up 30 but ofcourse it cant always be helped, sometimes cause of time u have to just get trough it, u dont always get the luxury of plenty of time to reherse something..exp in last minute gigs and last minute solos and last minute changes to a choreography i dont complicate it too much for myself this days...whatever i am playing at the next gig...that's my focus...whatever palo they are doing in classes is what i concetrate on...and whatever palo i seem to be into for myself at home at the time (it changes all the time) thats what i work on.. its all about prioritising ( i got a feeling i fu*ed that word up ) depends on what u are prioritising for... a solo gig, a gig with a dancer, singer...a recording...acompanying in clases, etc.. and if u not getting ready for anything then you can work on whatever your heart desires..but i wouldnt worry too much...unles necesarry practicing or playing something u are not that much into at that time or you are more into something else and only doing it for the sake of not forgheting it dosent sound all that productive..and not that much fun... write it down and if u need it you will be able to revive it in a day or 2 no big deal

quote:
repetition is the only way to make it permanent and once its in there it stays there forever I agree about the importance of repetition but ideas do not stay in my head forever. My memory isn't the best in the world, but it's not so bad either. Drawing a parallel, I've noticed that after living somewhere for 10-15 years and moving to a new town, I'll start to forget the streets (names, layout) of the old town after a few years. I suppose repetition is the only way, but it's better to have some kind of overview based on the identification of each idea. Other posts have already mentioned this, although I don't think "naming falsetas" is the best way to describe it because you don't have to use words and because the concept applies to ideas that are smaller than falsetas. Here's what I mean: My playing style alternates basic rhythm (which includes cierres and remates) with falsetas. The ideas are from different players and I don't necessarily try to play them in the same order. I identify the ideas in at least three ways: by creator, by the musical characteristics and by the part of the compas where the idea occurs. So, when I'm playing, I'll try to remember to use all four (the numbers are examples) of my main cierres, three falsetas of Melchor, two falsetas of Paco de Lucía, the end of that last Paco falseta reminds me that there's a cool and musically similar cierre of Enrique de Melchor, etc. The idea, in other words, is to take inventory of your repertoire in each style and to use it as a sort of checklist.
