Santana flamenco

Let me know if you can spot the "flamenco" bits in this...

RE: Santana flamenco (in reply to val)

Val: I guess it's a bit late here, so my cognitive functions have taken a nose-dive!

I didn't really understand what you meant by your message when you said "Me - not a chance." You mean you didn't notice where the "flamenco infusion" happened in this Santana instrumental rendition?

The time? This only takes about 5 minutes to prepare, and the actual thing's length to record... It's really straight-forward stuff. Uploading it, on the other hand, takes about 20 minutes or so.

Damn this slow internet!

Puro!

you should have gone E->D open right away, so you scale down C-B-A.....But that is just me.

And also I would have done it all sooner, so you resolve to the E chord first.....

Ron: Uh-oh! I feel like I've come close to becoming a Fakemenco specialist.

Val: I was just referring to that alzapua I threw in there...

I didn't understand what you said about how you would have played the chords, Ricardo. You mean about the part before the alzapua, right?

Puro then, eh?

i love the way u are dude, i love the fact that u not trying to impres or are scared of doing the music u love ...I love that about you bro ...u keep doing what u do man

absolute respect man...do the music u love ! even if its not flamenco

it seems to me like u just hear music u like and not genras or are concerend with labels, and thats brilliant...i envy your commitment to your own taste

dont ever let anyone robb you of your innocence of just purely doing the music u love
not caring what genra or what label it is

and i am not refering to Rons or Ricardos comments who are just kidding i am just talking in general

I mean the bass notes of the alzapua. You go E E, E E E E-D D D D-C C C C-A.....would be a better phrase to go E E DDDD-CCCC-BBBB-A......

Gracias para tu mensaje, Florian! It means a lot.

Ricardo: I just tried your take on the alzapua - sounds great! Thanks!

RE: Santana flamenco (in reply to rombsix)

well, yes , spotted two alzapua parts , if thats what you mean.
they fitted well of course.

now, why not doing something else? (just a suggestion)

i would use this santana song part and make a bulerias falseta (with arpeggios) in menor out of it.

like Todd did here with another famous song
