When playing in threes it looks like José is accenting 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 etc. when he counts "un dos tres un dos tres" at 3:20 and again when he counts and starts to play tapeado (muted strings) at 3:40 he is giving the compas a simpler count. His "1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3" is actually "12, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10" Then when he starts to play on a chord just after (3:45-ish) he is accenting 12, 3, 6, 9. Then he puts in some closures of the compas. These accent 10 (like in the "classic" 12, 3, 6, 8, 10 accents). But note, the rasgueado ends on 10, but starts on 9, so that sort of links up the two sets of accents (in my head anyway, and I don't really think of it in numbers or count while I play, and find it is actually much simpler without all the counting analysis which just seems to make it sound really complex). At around 5:50 He counts again the "normal" 12,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11, and then goes into rhythmic vocalisation of the rhythm. Go with that, it's actually much more useful than counting. The last lessons I had in Spain the teacher taught all the Bulerias we did without counting anything, just with the foot on "1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3" (which as explained above corresponds to "12, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10"). It was much easier than having someone count all the time, which I find really offputting, 'cos then you can't actually hear the falseta you're supposed to be learning! [8|] With this video, following Ricardo's advice: quote:
lose the counting concept and use a metronome and Todd's advice:quote:
Get the numbers out of your head. That is what's messing you up. Stop trying to count. is easy, or at least possible.[:)]
