RE: Simplifying falsetas (in reply to HolyEvil)

Discovered another conundrum to this I had been working on a SPB falseta in por medio for an up coming performance...open, no capo After transcribing then working on compas I got news from the singer that the cante will be por arriba with capo on 4... Only a semitone difference but a whole rethinking of how to play this introduction... Notes on the first string shifted to the 2nd plus a whole new set of voicings...feels more personalised now with some adjustments.. Still working it through but it has changed Nice thing here is 2 ways of playing the same melodic material..but added and subtracted things from the recording I originally was working from...

I dont think its cheating at all , all the guitarists do it ,they learn each others falsetas and pass them on . the thing is that often they change them , maybe a little bit, maybe a lot , to make them their 'own' or in a way that feels better for each player to play it . then this in turn gets passed on ... after a few people the falseta is very different or maybe you cant hear the original at all . Its like a musical game of chinese whispers .... this changing or altering things to suit yourself, is one of the first steps in composition , like a theme with variations . Question is , did you change it to simplify it in order to play it?, like Holyevil . , or maybe you didnt like a bit and decided to change it ?,, or maybe you made a mistake and decided it was cool .?.. all valid reasons Then did it make it better or worse ?... well that all depends on the listener ... now we are in a bit of 'there is no wrong answer ' area
