metalhead -> Counting approach (May 13 2026 10:59:53)

I have always been a metronome guy but have incorporated playing with compas loops too.
I have seen that for more intuitively phrased falsetas like the ones by PDL, playing with compas loops is not difficult once I have already practiced the falseta a good amount with the metronome.
But for highly syncopated falsetas and falsetas with 'unintuitive' rhthym, I find it difficult to play with compas loops.
Right now, my strategy is to choose a few 'checkpoints' in the falseta. For example, if a particular note in the falseta falls on a beat like 6, 8 or 10, I keep a check when playing whether my playing coincides with the compas loop.
The rest, I rely on intuition and filling gaps with small upstrokes. Is this a good approach? Do you need to keep track of every single beat while playing?
What I mean by unintuitive and intuitive: if you have learnt PDL's falsetas, then you might have seen how his falseta 'sings' with the compas. Contrarily, highly syncopated falsetas don't have this 'singing' thing going on with their rhythm. Or maybe I am not advanced enough to feel their singing, I could be wrong.
The question is specifically for Bulerias.
