I think this approach, while valid and necessary, is only a small part of the picture. and only gets you so far
Case in point: if it's only a matter of swapping 'por medio' with 'por arriba', why then when guitarists play por arriba don't they constantly hit the B string w/ i finger in the same way we all hit the high E string w/ i, as a way of filling in the compás, you know?
it ought to create the same sound, as the relationships of the notes E and B are the same as A and E.
I'd say it's a hand thing - playing on the B string is awkward'. But that's one of the reasons why I would think there ought to be a unique approach for this toque. (obviously, constantly hitting the high E string w/ i playing por arriba *is* a unique approach)
Another thing: if these are so exchangeable, why isn't everyone playing por arriba at 6 instead of por medio at 1? (etc etc)
It's just a different sound. But also, everything sounds different, feels different and lays different on the guitar. The tensions on the strings are different, etc etc
And there are so many falsettas that just don't work in E they way they do in A.
So back to the question: does anyone have recordings, resources, etc of bulerias cante accompaniment por arriba?!
