RE: buleria without golpes. How ? (in reply to koella)
The golpe comes somehow automatically... I would frag any guitar without golpeador while testing... But its possible. With good palmas or whatever... its even more easy.

RE: buleria without golpes. How ? (in reply to Ricardo)
we had a spanish group with a hungarian dancer here last year and they had a guitarist who played for an hour without making one single golpe...his playing was quite good, he even sounded flamenco, but i really really missed the golpes and was disgusted at the guitarist for not making even a single tiny little one...it was a big disappointment... this would be funny for an outsider :)

when i started to learn flamenco guitar, it was very difficult for me to play the Golpes together with the Notes.....now i saw this thread and tried to play a bulerias without Golpe and realized that it is quite impossible....it comes automatically and you cant hold the finger back ...... was quite interesting
BTW......koella, he can play golpe only with flesh (without nail)...if he doenst have very long nails...

RE: buleria without golpes. How ? (in reply to koella)
Like I said there are TONS of falsetas available for any palo that don't use golpes. But no rhythmic strumming parts, that is the main issue I think.
Tell the classical player that John Williams has a very small tap plate on his Smallman guitar. It is a good idea to protect any classical guitar top, IMO.
