RE: at what beat does this timatito ... (in reply to ronney2s)
I think your numbers are wrong if you want it to work in 12. And you CANT IGNORE the "pick up" beat cuz is actually the DOWNBEAT....not visible on your page cuz it was last beat of previous bar. THis score is written as if this is solea.....I have an issue with that. I made a video teaching this falseta complete in 8 minutes.
The previous two A notes in octaves are count 6, then your first measure above should count starting on 7. So it ends on 9&.....
My foot is 12,2,4,6,8,10. 12 and 6 are downbeats. What happens with this falseta is there is a half compas somewhere. It doesn't really matter to me where you define it but for sure the end is on 9 as I described. If you want you can count as you wrote but with this except:
(12 is previous page) 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12, 7,8,9 (10)....that works too. bulerias is normally just felt in 6, not 12 anyway so the question of where the half compas ever might occur is a NON ISSUE.

thanks for the explanation but it is not the same falseta you are playing a different one does what you said apply to the one i referred to aswell ? as i wrote above the picture is not mine so i did not write the numbers on it

That might be the most often posted video in the foro. This falseta seems to be very central...so many people run into it. And I even killed my thumbnail completely with it in far past. I won´t touch it again..haha

Oh sorry man I appologize. I WAS playing the falseta above. You refered to the NEXT falseta. Yes the A note is a pick up between count 9 and 10 so that you land the D note (5th fret 5th string) on count 10.
