Ricardo -> RE: Bulerias, Hearing lamada, counting in 6's etc... (Sep. 11 2007 8:44:17)

It is better that the dancer leads the guitarist in those cases, but I guess the teacher wants you to do a "cierre" or something to give them a clue. I say keep things "square" or in groups of 4 compases so it all at least feels natural to everyone.
So a cierre is a closing with a group of chords and rasgueado. So you play like normal for 4 compases I guess if she wants that, then do something like this chromatic barre chord progression:
C-B-Bb-A on counts 12-2-4-6 (dancers will like that you know the count) then rasgueado nice and loud on the A chord, counts 7-10. brrrrrrrr! That should get their attention to do a llamada. Listen to Moraito for this type of thing if you are not sure.
Now if they want special music for the actual llamada, you could be a nerd and tell them that NOBODY IN SPAIN will play anything special for that llamada por bulerias anymore. Or you could play:
A A A A A A -counts 1-6
Dm-rasgueado 7-10. Then Dm again on 11. 12, just gople.
Dm rasgueado 1-2-3
C-4-5-6
Bb-7-8-9
A-10.
And then kick back in with normal rhythm. If that IS what they want, and you play it like I described, and they say that is IT!, then just roll your eyes and say "alright I will do it....". But honestly, you don't NEED to do all that fancy old stuff for bulerias anymore.
