"El Tempúl" from PdL's "Fantasia Flamenca" album. Apart from the very fast picado, it's not really that difficult in today's terms. It's allowable to "alter" it to suit your own technique (ie miss out or substitute really hard bits). OK. But yeah, you are way wrong about difficulty level. Even musically, the 2nd to last falseta has some tough contratiempos that most won't be able to keep on. It is really a very advanced piece by any standard or time period. If we CAN do our own "altered" technique, it is doable by anyone.[;)] For example that a i or m i (I believe it to be anyway a combo) rasg. w/golpes everyother beat. OK, who ever can do THAT at the proper tempo, is the winner IMO. Even Tomatito does not do that. Although I did remember a Chicuelo video and he did a shorter version of that technique. With alterations, sure most of us could get close. You could say NO alterations, and then it is really about tempo. Lots of us could do it proper slower, the entire piece even, but then it becomes about who is the fastest...no? I think it would be fair if folks that realize it is not at their level, pick ONE falseta from the piece and try to contribute just that much. I admit I can already play about 3 or 4 falsetas from this tune, close or at tempo. I won't load anything until Ron does first![:D]
