where he shows a variation of the remate phrase from the solea intro that you like maybe it's helpful to you?
Thanks. It is helpfull, but not exactly the same notes as the one in the movie.
Actually, I've been playing different variations of this same basic falseta for many years, but somehow mine does not sound exactly the same as the one in the movie. That's what I was trying to get. . .
RE: Flamenco documentary films (in reply to rombsix)
ramzi, I remember trying to play along with this video a long time ago and THE PITCH lies between 2 adjacent frets, i think the pitch was between CAPO 3 AND CAPO 2, (i dont remember the number exactly),so I think when they filmed it, they slowed it down and thus the pitch changed. I can download the audio and adjust the pitch with my guitar and the speed with ASD and upload it here for britguy. you could have easily downloaded the mp3 from youtube to mp3 downloader (online or software). that was too much work that you did

It's simpler than I thought, just need to get the exact timing right. (Always my biggest problem, timing. . . )
Actually the timing will be tricky to match because the player is very liberal or elastic with the compas. I recommend to learn it with metronome using a strict subdivision of 16th note triplets on the descending part from Dminor chord down to E chord (second line of my tab). That means 6 even spaced notes in one beat or tick of the metronome.
Later, in order to match the more elastic performance you can "note cram" with the idea of the beat being expressed always by the thumb stroke notes only. That means all 12 beats are expressed by the thumb (except beat 9 which is that last D note, the 3rd fret on the B string).
i watched this one today and enjoyed it. I have been watching heaps of flamenco documentary films over the last year or so. I will find some of the ones I have really enjoyed and post them
for the most part, I can only comment on the music though, I am still very early stages of trying to learn to understand spanish
I remember one featuring the Gipsy Kings (Canut and Andre specifically, long ago..) made by: We Have No War Songs. I think this pertained to the history of flamenco, and the struggle of the Gipsy life if I remember correctly..
