I was fiddling around last week and finally got around to working out one of my favorate Paco falsetas, which I’ve been meaning to do for ages but just never got round to it. The thing is that I don’t think this falseta has been tabbed. I have asked on the forum many times and looked all over the net but no luck. I am sure Faucher has not tabbed it…yet it is a falseta that Paco uses all the time in concert.
Ok so this cost me nearly a day to figure out. Like most of Pacos stuff, it looks and sounds much simpler than it is. I got the fingering from a youtube video so I am pretty sure it’s correct. However, if anyone has a better version or corrections please let us know. I gotta say thanks to Duende for sending me the score which helped a lot but (at least to me) was not accurate.
So as I was quite pleased with myself and feeing in such a good mood I thought Id just give you all this great falseta. Print off and play.
I know that the last part is not written in compas. If anyone wants to correct it, please be my guest. I was more worried about the fingering and fitting it all nicely onto 1 page.
