Miguel, sorry to seem like I am having an exclusive arguement w/ Zata. It is easy to get sucked into these things. I wish I could have just left things to my 1st and second post. Anyway, it seems like YOU get it anyway: quote:
I already put down my response. I think I get it. You tap your foot three times, corresponding to 12, 2, 4. Then you do it again, corresponding to 6, 8, 10. You don't need to think the count, you just tap, and rely on the natural ability to do so. This works on bulerias because it's quick so there's no chance to lose track of the the three taps. Tap your foot three times, ie, there are 3 beats, makes musical sense, vs. your 12-count stuff or just "twos" as terms. You don't need to count 12,2,4 and 6,8,10, just feel 1,2,3 and 1,2,3. I was just trying to put that stuff into musical terms that agree w/ what Estela says, but man it sounds confusing reading through it. Sorry. Jamey, don't think too much about it. One could just as easily come on and say "hey don't count or tap, just FEEL it man!". Ultimatley it IS as easy as that. But how do you get it? By riding in the car and trying to sing with gitanos giving you the compas? Everyone is different. Some need twos, others only make sense of 12,2,4,6,8,10. For me, 1,2,3 is easy. That is all I am saying man. Once you see it different ways you will say, Oh man, what a pointless arguement that was, it is all the same! Ricardo PS, I WAS trying to push this thing to 11 pages, but I am gettin bored LOL!
