Have you guys noticed that none of the soleas played/composed by Vicente have any tremolo in them. It is unlikely since most of the other famous players put a tremolo in their Soleas. Is there some kind of a technical explanation to this that I am not aware?

Just curious, if you guys noticed!

Flamenco guitar solos originate as unrelated falsetas that can be improvised at random. Eventually, a logical order can arise and a "piece" is born, but it does not have to go that way. Vicente is free to mix any falseta he wants into his "solea" solo live, and often does mix it up.

I always felt that Vicente's Taranta tremolo for example, was inspired by Paco's "Fuente y Caudal". Perhaps Vicente has never composed a tremolo for solea that he felt was unique enough for recording. In the end, it is the player/composer's choice. Obviously Vicente likes tremolo for his toque libre (taranta, minera, Granaina, rondeña). Many other players prefer this too. I rarely hear tremolo in alegrias nowadays. Paco has a tremolo por bulerias on Luzia, and Manolo Sanlucar does a tremolo in Solea por bulerias on Tauromagia. But it is not so much fun to do that nowadays, as it is for tremolo in free tempo toques.

And its damn hard to play tremolo in bulerias and solea por bulerias, and make it expressive.

Isn't everything?

"mura"??? hehe.....luna
Yeah, that one's my favorite. Because of it's placement more than anything else.

Thanks for the opinions. I think you're right.

It is easy for him to come up with a tremolo for Solea but he wants to be different than the rest.
