ORIGINAL: johnnefastis One quick question to anyone who has been before. I have been playing for a fair few years but will do the medium/low level course. At the minute I play the following Palos Solea Bulerias Alegrias Tangos Rumba Colombiana Tarantas Any idea what would be best to concentrate on before, another Palos, just work more on these ? Getting the compas base down always takes a bit of time so I am wondering if I should be getting a few more basics under my belt .... Cheers In the intermediate class (there's nothing "low level" about it!!) he usually shows you traditional Jerez style material, simple but punchy falsetas, stuff that's useful for accompanying singers and for fiestas and things. (In practice that usually means he improvises something with a Jerez feel and then teaches it to you while he's coming up with it ) So there's always a LOT of bulería, and you wouldn't be surprised to see any of the other major palos with compás - expect some soleá, soleá por bulería, alegría, seguiriya, maybe some tangos, tiento, taranto, all that. Sometimes he'll throw in some of his "simpler" compositions for fun, similar to (or the same as!) things in his Encuentro video. It's important to be familiar with the compases, of course, and the traditional chords, otherwise his pace can be a bit quick. Gerardo definitely expects you have familiarity with those things. It's a really great time, a lot of people from the foro should be there, see you there! (And Ricardo it'll be good to finally see you there!)
