RE: Solea - Chord subsitution? (in reply to HolyEvil)
there should be about 5 voicings to play an F or C on the guitar. Question is why do you want to replace this? It is a trademark chord sequence for solea, even modern compositions have this (a bit altered in the rasgeado maybe).
How to replace chords.. well there are major/minor parallel chords, diminished chords, tritone-substitutions... and maybe some more that dont come to my mind that you can interchange among them.

RE: Solea - Chord subsitution? (in reply to HolyEvil)
because it would give it a different sound/feel while not losing the solea aire.. I think that's the main reason why I want to have different way of playing the compas without just changing the way the rasg is played..
