A couple questions about siguiriyas
|

So due to work, I've been spending way too much time on the Los Angeles freeways and no time for guitar lessons. I recently bought the book by Jonathan Pascual, and trying to work my way through. A couple of questions, to make sure I'm not doing things wrong on my own. 1. The siguiriyas time is notated as 3/4+6/8. In my previous life as a classical guitar student, the beat in a 6/8 measure is 1 1/2 quarter notes (a “dotted” quarter note), giving it a sort of uneven length (I'm sure you all know what I mean here). Now the 6 eighth-notes in siguiriyas all have equal length, correct? In fact all 12 eighth-notes are equal in length, correct? Meaning the 2 sets of the 3 eighth-notes are not triplets, they are just regular eighth-notes. 2. Wouldn't it be simpler to not divide the compas into 2 measures alternating 3/4 then 6/8? and simply write out all 12 beats in one single measure? It's just that I try to make sure which measure is 3/4 and which measure is 6/8, and just thinking one long measure would be simpler to follow, at least for a beginner like me, and I just have to learn the correct strong beats within each measure. (I know 12/8 would be incorrect, and I'm ok with 3/4+6/8). Thanks fly PS. I really like the siguiriyas sound, nothing like listening to it over and over while sitting for hours in traffic. I'm going to try my best to learn it.

@tri7/5: Yes I noticed, thanks. Actually, that started me wondering about how the measures are written in the first place. @jmb, @Paul, @Morante: One reason I do not car pool with others to work! I play and count out loud and slap my leg, may be practice my rasguedo a bit. I think clapping not too practical while driving, can be done though, and so is tapping with the foot, I tend to tap my right foot and not my left On that, I noticed the dancers I watched all do palmas while sitting and on certain beats, raised their right leg (not tapping, kneeing, similar to muy thai). I can't remember what palos it was, might have been a solea or buleria. Must have been a common teaching. Thanks all. fly
