Thanks a lot guys!
The majority of the falsetas are a bit over my capabilities so I'll play it all slower, at a speed I'm moderately comfortable, and I'll try to keep an even compás as much as possible. I'll try to add the drama to some of the easier parts or add some extra notes, like you guys said. But if I get comfortable enough with it, I'll make some speed changes like Erik and Ricardo suggested.
quote:
One option is to start with the slower material en end with the faster material. You could transit with a falseta or variation that invites (or enables) acceleration at the end of the last compas, for instance raising speed between 7>10 (or 10>12 fallowed by rasguedo at 110 bpm or other fitting material).
Erik, I was thinking of doing that but I'll have to change the order of the last falsetas. My doubt was when and where to increase the speed, thanks for the explanation.
quote:
Now if the majority of your material is slow, then try the opposite. Suddenly erupt with your fast easy section to knock off everybodies socks then after stoping on a dime, come back in slow again.
Ricardo, I see what you mean. The problem is that, unlike Diego del Gastor, I'm terrible with expression and convincing people. But I'll make an experiment and try to record it like you said, maybe it will come out fine. I will use those arpeggio/ligado licks to change speed, that's a good solution.
I just finished learning the hardest falseta, I'm still mechanizing it. Tomorrow I'm going to be all the afternoon practising that falseta like you said Lionel, thanks for the tip.
The thing is, I injured my left hand recently and I was almost one and a half months without playing guitar. I started playing again about three weeks ago but I still haven't recovered the stability and precision of movements I had before the injury. I can play the hard parts but I mess it all up when I change from pulgar to picado, arpeggio to picado, from the end of a falseta to rasgueos of compás, etc. Also, my nails are all f*cked up so my sound is terrible. Since there are going to be some missed notes and a bit of an unclean sound, I wanted to at least give the Soleá a nice feel and flow. That's why I'm so concerned with the speed.
Anyway, thanks again very much for all the help.
