If you think about it, that's exactly how you would feel about accompanying Blues if you had little experience of it. I've never done blues before, but this game makes it sound all the more interesting. =D quote:
First accompany only apagado, no chords just muted strumming. When you can do this while listening and don't get lost, try the same keep muted but only give tonos on count 3 or 10, then go back to muted strumming.....from there you should see where you were getting messed up "listening" to the cante melody for its intrinsic rhythm. You only need to give tonos on 3 or 10, and you will see it always works. Are these the "KING" notes your speak of? Or rather, I should play the King notes on these beats... Internalizing the compas and hitting it on the mark is fun and can be challenging to do. Keeping the rhythm with my fingers alone just feels like a losing battle. Your method of playing on beats 3 and 10 seem to work really well since it forces me to find other means of keeping rhythm and finding the groove (foot, head, shoulder...anything other than memorized right hand strummings). Thanks!
