RE: The Cante accompaniment challeng... (in reply to henrym3483)

Cante actually comes from the german word Kante and means "edge". "Tischkante" would be the edge of a table. Gitanos, as we know, like to sit around the edges of a table ( ) and sing. So they wanted to give this activity a shorter name. They wanted to make it more international, hence a "c" instead of "k", cante... My last comment was more meant in the context of this thread, but i do think that the note-for-note playing of a falseta is easier to judge than an accompainment. I could think of many good ways of accompaining that ive heard, but with a PDL falseta, or any other, the space would be smaller. Its more pre-defined how you (should) play by what you play. Thats all imo of course... Jason, i know that there are guys that are only interested in solo and dont want to do with cante, but seriously im not one of them... if its neccessary for solo to know cante i dont know. Some guitarrists like to stick more to the cante in their solo playing and some less or none.
