Filip -> RE: Paco Tutorial 9…suggestions? (Dec. 21 2022 20:28:20)

So, ihmo, I am thinking along the lines of something crazy challenging, like for example falsetas from La Cañada or Volar or Antonia, with usual analysis of harmonies etc.
Another thing I think would be cool is something from live recordings, either just a mix of falsetas as Paco plays them (for example the beginning of tangos from 1996 Jazztage, which is basically a mix of La Cañada falsetas followed by a really cool cante acompañamiento (gitana mia yo voy amarte lerelere...) and later Me Regale falsetas), or some solos that never ended on his own albums (ends of both versions of rondeñas, some bulerias falsetas from Camaron/Duquende albums, rumba impros).
At the end, when I look at your tutorials, it's not just about learning to play falsetas, it's also about digging into what made Paco so great. Questions like, why is this difficult to play? What novelty is in this falseta/idea? Why is this different than other players/musicians? ... small and big details that make Paco a genius...there is a bit of that in all your tutorials, which is awesome for me...(an example, the analysis of two Compadres falsetas was beautiful)
Another idea for tutorials, I think every Pacos album has at least one falseta/idea that appears on two tracks (I remember one from Cositas Buenas and one from Luzia now, or at least it seems to me as the same idea, but probably there is more), so it would be interesting to dig and analyse those.
