When you deal with "songs" you have to accompany them like you would cante. That means you have to choose the tonality and compas first (or if it is free of compas, just the tonality). Then you borrow from what ever you know compas wise. For example Sabicas was literally just playing Farruca in E minor, but the cante form is what dictated the tono changes (chord changes). Like wise it could be done to solea or Alegria or buleria compas, and if you choose to play falsetas you can draw from your flamenco bag whatever you have. If you play free in the Key of B minor say, then you can borrow from Taranta so long as you resolve correct for the singer. Hope that makes some sense. So guitarists need to learn a group of palos and then when accompanying cante, the important thing is the chord changes you follow, not your falsetas. Farruca stuff works for tangos de malaga, Solea works for Caña, Siguiriyas in E works for Serrana Liviana etc etc Ricardo
