looking for a basic buleria vid for instructional purpose, simply the a to b change, few imbellishments, in compas or relatively close for practice purposes. I looked at the vid section and most have too many embellishments or are basically all over the fretboard to follow. Just a basic pattern change would be cool a old blind man with 3 fingers can follow. If there is one I missed thanks in advance for helping
I would just click on the YouTube words at the bottom of the vid to take you to the actual YouTube link. You can then right click on a blank spot on the page and select send to desktop as a shortcut (Create shortcut)

Just note, this doesn't actually download it. You still need an internet connection to view it. You have to use special programs to rip videos from youtube. I've never done but someone here may be able to recommend one to you.

I would be interested in a mac version myself. Some very interesting youtube posts have been removed over the years and downloading them can save a lot of grieve on the long term. Backdraw might be that increasing downloading might corrupt the status of youtube, resulting in more requests to remove videos not owned by the posting youtube member.

For PC users who want to do this I recommend using Firefox as your browser and install the Video Download Helper plug in plus the converter. Then whenever you visit a webpage with an embedded video - like any YouTube page - you simply click and it downloads the video to your desktop.
Just save a link to this page and return when you want to play the videos. I assume you can view videos. There are ways to download the videos, but there are several steps involved.
dumb question number 23, im going along with the vid ok, which is surprising, but when is it appropriate to change to the b chord? at six or do you have to wait to 12 again? or does it matter as long as you stay in compas?
The second video he never plays the Bb chord, just adds a Bb note to his A chord, which he adds on 3 takes off on 6 adds back on 8 and takes off on 10.

That depends on some different factors...
The 'traditional' (ie what you're probably used to hearing) buleria compas is 12-A, 3-Bb, 6-C, 8-Bb, 10-A. You can simplify that to 12-A, 3-Bb, 10-A.
If you're playing alone (which I'm assuming you are) I'd say the most important thing is keeping compas. You can extend that to keeping compas in your head and playing around with the accents, only 'revealing' the buleria rhythmic structure occasionally.
If you're playing with others, it might be best to keep it simple until y'all are comfortable with the compas and/or each other.
yeha i think im just going to rock out on the compas for awhile I downloaded that juan martin app and he has a compas clock and that helps a lot.
don't do it.. I downloaded that app and it was pretty much crap. download doctor compas.. that's the awesome-ness-nest of all flamenco compas metronomes. Only complain is that it's pretty soft so it's best used with external speakers.
