RE: La Ardila, intro (tomatito) (in reply to Doitsujin)
there is no original in flamenco, only versions of some falseta.. original is thought only.. also what he recorded isnt original but the variation in that particular moment..thats one of things why flamenco is so rich, you 'only' have to know how to make variations ,and not to go from thought that defines the falseta. i didnt put in notation while listening to audio of tomatito playing, because that way i would write down exactly what he was recorded, that's no trouble at all for me. what i did, is from my head one of variations i play..
RE: La Ardila, intro (tomatito) (in reply to branquito)
In general I think like you branquito. Its allways better not to copy a falsea 100%. If you put something new or something of you inside, its much better. Flamenco is not classic, right. I just uploaded the intro of Faucher for you that you can see how Tomatito played it exactly on the CD. Maybe you become better in transcibing with this material. I idnt know that you just wnated to share a variation of you with us. But you wrote " La Ardila, intro (tomatito)". And not "La Ardila, intro (branquito). no? Its cool. I will try to play your variation. Im learning la ardila at the moment. If your variation is cool, I will ue yours.
