Everyone stays at Helechos! It's near the courses and everything in town (places to eat, places to drink manzanilla, places to fiesta, etc.

) and is always a party atmosphere in the daytime because of all the curso students playing guitar, pretty ladies practicing their baile, and so on. Also it has a pool which is 100% crucial in Sanlúcar in July!

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!)

Thanks Adam thats really useful.

I think I may brush up on my soleá por bulería and seguiriya a bit then. Not really played them for years because of trying to concentrate on the Palos I mentioned.

What about Fandangos does that come up much ? I have not really got that down and would get frustrated at trying to do that in a rush.

Cheers

You don't need to have practiced falsetas for those palos, remember. Just understand the basic chord structure and rhythm structure and you'll be able to follow most of it. I don't recall him doing any fandangos in the intermediate course in the last few years but I could be forgetting...

I'm pretty sure others have asked, definitely unsuccessfully. So I wouldn't get my hopes up...

Is anybody in need of a room? I've got a triple at Los Helechos (where practically everyone stays and hangs out) which should be on the terrace. Now taking applications

RE: Sanlucar 2013 (in reply to kudo)

Hey everyone,

I am not usually one for planning transport in advance but am coming to Sanlucar with my partner and my 2 year old daughter, so trying to be a little organised.

I am just wondering the what is the best route from Malaga to Sanlucar, I am presuming trains from Malaga to Seville are fast and regular and then there are probably buses from Seville to Sanlucar.

Does anyone know how far the bus station is from the train station in Seville and how frequent the busses are ?

Many thanks

Simon

Sounds right to me. The main train station - I'm assuming trains from Málaga arrive there - is Santa Justa, and it's about 2 km from the bus station, Prado San Sebastián (the main one is Plaza de las Armas but the buses to Sanlúcar don't leave from there - so don't just say you want to go to "the bus station!"). Probably no more than 10 minutes by taxi for a few euros.

When you're at Prado San Sebastián, you can buy a ticket from the company Los Amarillos (they'll have a booth in the station). Speaking Spanish is recommended

Buses from Sevilla to Sanlúcar run fairly regularly on the weekends. You can find a schedule at the bottom of this document:

http://www.sanlucardebarrameda.es/userfiles_sanlucar/file/Plantilla_Horario_de_autobuses.pdf

Or here for a potentially more up to date version (bearing in mind not every train on there leaves on the weekends): http://www.samar.es/horarios/autobuses/Sevilla+Prado+San+Sebastian/Sanlucar+de+Barrameda/994/999

It's less than an hour's journey.

See you in Sanlúcar!

Ouch !

Good times....

Great to have met some of you in person !

Hope those fingers are back to normal Ricardo.

It was cool how at many of the juergas there was no
guitar amplification. There were a few different singers and different key changes
so in this one the person with the microphone took the lead on that.

I heard PDL's father wouldn't let the young Paco play unamplified in tablaos in case he hurt/damaged his hands.... this must be why!
