RE: Counting Bulerias (in reply to sonikete)

There are falsetas which start on 12, falsetas which start on 1. I believe (but am not sure) the origin of this is depending on where in bulerias the dance is. I only assume this because alegrias are the same - intro often starts on 1, verse on 12, escobilla on 1. Same with soleá, polo and other related dances. So from a completely musical standpoint, you can do it either way if you're not accompanying. Rather than counting to 12, I like to think twice long and three times short. Why count 12 when you can you can count 5 instead? "long tap tap, long tap tap, short tap, short tap, short tap..." Keeping the clock in mind helps a lot too.
