constructordeguitarras -> Aires Linares alza pua section--I need help (Aug. 5 2025 2:33:49)

I've been studying Paco de Lucia's Aires Linares (taranta) with the official Partituras book and the alza pua section, starting at 5:07 in the "video" below, seems to be transcribed wrong in the book when I slow it down. (It could be one of those intentional errors to fight copyright infringement.) Does anyone know how it should really go? Could you show me? Thanks.

I think maybe I figured out the problem: Two bass notes missing(?). At least, the problem at the beginning of the section. There's more.

Here you go. In the one below I transcribed in a way that's comparable to what you have.



And this is how I would write it, because it's triplets essentially, why confuse people when you don't have to.

Thanks, xirdneH. I've kind of decided that with the addition of the two bass notes, all that's needed is more of a couple of pauses--where it goes to uneven multiplets, not triplets or quadruplets. After I practice it for a few days I'll post a video of me playing it.

Okay, I screwed up. I wrote first fret where I should have said second fret (thinking of the first finger, I guess). And I found more places where the bottom note is missing in the official Partituras. I think I have it now. There are pauses and there seems to be a quadruplet in the Partituras that is not audible on the recording; I don't know if it belongs there but I am cutting it out. I think this is correct:

Ricardo -> RE: Aires Linares alza pua section--I need help (Aug. 6 2025 21:14:21)

7:20 he does it here. I feel slowed down the open E note is coming from the left hand while the right is doing the typical alzapua (no double strike with the thumb)...in other words a slur should be written to indicate the index moved to allow the open E to sound and the F# hammer when the thumb is actually only hitting the 5th and 4th etc. Frankly, it is too damn fast for a double retracted strike anyway:

Maybe try this:

Thanks so much, Ricardo. I was hoping you would get involved. Very good point that it's too fast for the double down strokes with the thumb. The slurs seem promising. I think you nailed it. I'll practice that. Amazing video of Paco, by the way.

orsonw -> RE: Aires Linares alza pua section--I need help (Aug. 7 2025 9:56:16)

That reminded me of this Paco de Lucia tutorial, different taranto? But a similar alzapua/ligado mechanism?




Ricardo -> RE: Aires Linares alza pua section--I need help (Aug. 7 2025 16:23:46)

in that one the rhythm is not triplets, it is group of 4 so the hammer pull has its own space. The other thing is trickier because you hear the bass note but are not striking the string so it is counter intuitive.



constructordeguitarras -> RE: Aires Linares alza pua section--I need help (Aug. 8 2025 16:39:45)

It turns out that Orhan had nailed it seven years ago. See around 2:23



devilhand -> RE: Aires Linares alza pua section--I need help (Aug. 9 2025 13:50:43)

At 5:35 he plays it at a normal speed.



devilhand -> RE: Aires Linares alza pua section--I need help (Aug. 9 2025 23:58:30)

Is it the same alzapua trick?
Quique Paredes nailed it at 3:51. What a player he was.

no



constructordeguitarras -> RE: Aires Linares alza pua section--I need help (Aug. 10 2025 23:58:15)

So, I almost played it the way I want to:




Ricardo -> RE: Aires Linares alza pua section--I need help (Aug. 11 2025 13:53:52)

Excellent. And the guitar sounds amazing!



rombsix -> RE: Aires Linares alza pua section--I need help (Aug. 11 2025 21:11:01)

Agua!



constructordeguitarras -> RE: Aires Linares alza pua section--I need help (Aug. 12 2025 2:59:48)

Thanks Ricardo and Ramzi.

Good thing I made the video yesterday because the guitar sold today.

It's *because* you made the video. [;)]
