Rob MacKillop -> RE: Rennaissance vihuela tunes on 1919 Santos Blanca (Apr. 20 2016 7:35:42)

Those last three videos are all on a baroque guitar. I can assure you that the flamenco strumming patterns are not really evident in the original publications and manuscripts, but it is very tempting to try to make connections. I did something similar myself with this four-bar snippet from a Portuguese manuscript. I added strumming, tapping, and a few of my own variations, or falsetos, if you will. The emphasis was on having fun, not on being 100% "authentic". I can't find any advice on how to upload videos here, so I'll just give the links.

Here is something which reminds me of flamenco, but in a very different way, again from the Portuguese manuscript:

I seem to have lost an mp3 I made of the vihuela classic, Guardame Las Vacas, where I take the bass line from the second variation, and point out it is basically a 33222 rhythm, common to soleares and bulerias, but imposed on the same chord structure as Greensleeves - both songs are variations on the Romanesca Ground. When I get my next flamenco guitar, I'll make a video of it.
