Escribano -> Some falsetas are easier than others (Jan. 12 2004 18:37:45)

Doh! I decided to learn a new Soleares falseta on Sunday as I have not had much time before now; I had played my old ones to death for compas practise and worked on my rasgeos.

Anyway, this one is from Granados Didactica Book II (great material BTW) and it took 20 minutes to understand it.

Although it sounds much more complex than some of my others, it's actually easier to play because it's solidly based around arpeggios on the fingerings for the chords of Am, G and F with a classic remate. IMHO, trad flamenco definitely falls under the fingers.

Anyone else notice this i.e. classical falsetas are easier to pick up than some of the more modern ones (I am still struggling to play a Pepe Habechuela after 4 months!)?

I'm sticking with trad. for a while. Viva Ron and Tom[:D]

Simon,
are you saying that Pepe is considered classical? Or new? He's considered old-school for sure, nowdays, although perhaps so is Paco.
Speaking of, Feb 4 is coming up. Paco in Tucson!

Oh, dear, is he? No, his solo work is adventurous and novel - look at his Bollywood Strings fusion. Well, anyway, maybe my post should have been - Easier falsetas are easier than the difficult ones[;)]

Alright, you young whippersnapper. Paco de Lucia is considered old-school? I do believe that he is considered the father of modern Flamenco guitar. No one has ever had as much influence on Flamenco guitar as he has. I can't think of a guitarist under 50 years old (and many even older) that hasn't been influenced by PdL. BTW, what exactly makes a guitarist old-school or new-school? As I mentioned on another post, I've been listening to some really 'old-school' Flamenco recorded prior to 1933. I can assure you that Miguel Borrull, hijo, Juan Gandulla 'Habichuela, and Javier Molina, could play some damn good guitar, even if judged by today's standards.

A young guy once asked my teacher in Jerez who played better, Paco Cepero or Paco de Lucia. My teacher looked at him and said, "What kind of question is that? How can you even make a comparison? Paco Cepero is a good guitarist, but Paco de Lucia is...is...he's the Pope!"

If you practice playing the guitar everyday and you are Catholic, does that make you a practicing Catholic?

That depends. What position are you practicing in?

Ha ha ha,

Thanks Phil, bye the way you are also late? don't you?

I am practicing but.................

But is'nt it the verb, in wich way you place it in the context, whats counts?
I think you know what I mean... regarding your answer.

My parents did their best to make me a cotholic, they did not succeed in everything they did in their lives I'm afraid........

In my personal opinion, who wants a "leader" with a health like this.....

Regards and enjoy the Spanish sun.
