Hello, gang.

In your Alegrias, after a Silencio, do you play a Silencio Doble?

What might, or might not, influence your decision to play the Doble?

For dance???
I've always had the dancers just tell me what to do......I didn't know they took direction lolol

Sometimes dancer wants to do a double silencio, it's common to do the second one in a major key. In an alegrias guitar solo a double silencio can be really effective as a contrast from the key you are playing in. It also gives you more material. It's good to know about and have a second silencio in a major key, although most dancers don't ask for it, you can say I can do a double silencio and see if they are up for it.

A dancer would be the deciding factor unless I'm playing a solo gig and just a random choice
Only came across it once with a dancer, not that I'm an overly experienced accompanist

Seems to be the way and had a few people say the same thing
I learnt this major key silencio from foro member Aloysius and slightly modified some left hand
It's a simple one and leads well into a castellana or escobilla .. and sounds great with another guitar ' improvising ' a melody over it

Thanks, that's sorta what I was looking for.

I play by myself and I like to play more silencio for the contrast, and for more material. But I didn't know how "flamenco" it was to do so. I use to just play a longer silencio. I came across the double recently and hoped the Foro community could clarify it for me.

The idea of the doble in a major key leading to the escobilla makes a lot of sense, too. Thanks for that bit of info.

Thanks AlVal, for your reply too.

If I'm playing solo in a casual setting, I figure I can drop in another silencio if I really draw out the Alegrias. Probably no one would notice. Lately I'm relaxing more with it all and just doing what I want. After all, I'm not playing for a troop, I'm no gypsy, and I don't have long hair or a puffy shirt.
