for guitar solo it doesn't really matter much. taranto for baile is in 4/4 like tientos sometimes guitar solos reflect that in the title. for cante taranto is a specific melody and usually not in any compas.
Whoa, nice mullet 'Cente! That's a great video, a lot of similarities between this and his solo Taranta. So Taranto por cante is free form? Could you do a Taranto with a singer and a dancer? Would then parts of it be free form and other parts of it in compas for the dancer?
Around 3:51 he integrates a very small quote of a traditional taranto escobilla falseta (standard melody used during the dance solo). I referred to that part when i commented a similar quote of PDL in soleares/caña.
It's one of his very best pieces :-) The part i mentioned and the arpeggio at 4:57 are the only parts that remained from the tarantas he played in the early 80ties (although another part was recycled in various other occasions as well). It's one of the tracks of his 1991 debut album (the intro (0:00-0:35) is a later addition).

Depends on what the dancer wants. I have done things like cartagenera free and taranto in compas or levantica in compas etc. Once you get the concept of how to keep compas and accompany a "free" cante at the same time, it doesn't really matter you just memorize the dancer's choreography. Most often tangos and rumba become part of the speed up parts of the dance.
