It is a common problem here. The first recording is simply wrong. You should not force THAT melody into the wrong place in the compas. If you simply leave the first accent off and shift it all over 1 beat, but accent count 9 normally, it will work fine. The dancer will feel it and it will all work out. But I have seen this problem where the dancer is "correct" but they feel it wrong because their guitar or Cajon palmas or whatever accents wrong and they get it stuck in their head that way. That is a problem cuz those things are hard to "unlearn" and the moment it shifts to true bulerias, it becomes a mess. My feeling is if the dancer seems to accent 1,4,7,10, you should still keep accenting 3,6,9,12 anyway to keep it together. They way you played the melody is shifted and you should not even let yourself get it in your head that way, cuz now you have to shake it out. The way it sounds to me is your melody accents 2,5,8,11 relative to your backing loop, because it is how the melody sits in my head and heart. So change that right away cuz you are messing up the feel for yourself and her. Hope you see what I mean. Good luck man! quote:
We counted the escobilla like it would start on 12, but maybe we were wrong and it starts on 1. Regardless where the escobilla starts or YOU start playing, your melody or strumming must fit a specific way so the accents line up. It could be the feet start on 12 but you just hit the golpe or the end of the arpegio there, and the melody that starts on 1 ends up having the accents all line up in the right place as you continue.
