Filip -> RE: Farruca quarter notes (Dec. 4 2016 17:45:27)

Hi, I am also learning the same farruca. Honestly I had little idea if I am doing it right since this is the first time I study farruca compass and I was reading some ages on the web etc to get familiar with it. The way I'm learning it, it's 1-2-3-4 compas cycle (4 metronome beats), where each beat is a quarter. In the strumming pattern at the beginning, each chord is played for 4 quarters, so that each chord is played for one 1-2-3-4 cycle. The whole strumming has 8 compas cycles, one chord per cycle. After the strumming, the first cycle contains mostly eighth notes, so it's one compas cycle until the very first (short) tremolo begins. Now, I have very little musical knowledge (actually not any) and I don't quite understand what Ricardo has said in earlier posts, but seems to me I am on the right track except that a cycle should have 8 quarters and not 4. Anyway, if anyone is confused with what I explained above, just ignore me :) Cheers
