RE: Fakemenco you like (in reply to mark74) Any one check out IndiaLucia? I wouldn't call it fakemenco per se, and it's obviously a fusion project, but not really flamenco either. Im a fan for sure Think there's a new album on the way.. Also hossam Ramzey's flamenco arabe with Jose luis Monton is a cool project .. Not sure if that's in the fakemenco catalogue either ..

I love fakemenco. I play it exclusively. I can't tell the difference. Maybe I'm doing it all in reverse? The more Rumba I hear the more I like it. Honestly, I'm not ready to live with an ear that detects out-of-compas stuff. I don't care. Maybe in my dottage a flamenco singer would put up with me for long enough for me to 'get it'. In the meantime I can do the right things at the wrong times by keeping it simple. If I can play a 'simple' thing right then the rest is in the future, drunk, in a bar. I love bulerias. I can't make myself do anything but bulerias. But this fakemenco you guys post. I always fancy playing it. I like listening to Sabicas, his thumb is like liquid. But I never feel like playing it. The trio stuff is in my dreams but there are some nice (simple?) licks that I use 'to study' picado. The slow-downer changed my musical life (cheers Ron). Now study, for me, is either rainmanning a single groove until I find cheesy variations, and slowing down things to a pace where even I can figure it out. I see now I am a wanna-be fake (and loving it). I can't get over the reactions of regular folks to bulerias and rumba. Like they want to shake their stuff. It's nice. And as long as I keep time I can substitue things. It's very liberating (musically, for me). But I always read everything written here on compas. I never get when I'm supposed to start, or finish or what to do about the middle). I just copy and play along; and I use Dr. Compas all the time. It's so much fun. It's like jumping into a skipping rope. (I will write one hundred times... I must only use...) What I mean is that if something sounds good to me I don't even understand what it means when someone detects 11 instead of 12 beats. Why does that matter? If they vamp and make up for it later. Or is it the case that top players get it wrong the way top bluesmen do (and the rest of the band follow them)? I have so much technique to get figured. I maybe have to just fake and make exact copies in my bonce (which still hard for me, even with the convenience of loops I listen to on the train every day) and in my hands .... Right hand, it's all right hand. And I love it cause it loves all my old blues bends and vibratos. I love 'shaking' the strings, it relaxes my hands. Maybe we need an FA section?
