OK, I don't know very much. In terms of improvisation, I think that applies mainly to rumbas. Other palos, I get the impression you mix and match various falsetas you already know in pleasing ways. So how about this one for a rumba. Use the scale Paco uses in Entre Dos Aguas b,c,d,e,f#,g,a (i.e. the G major scale) and improvise over a two chord vamp Am7 and Bm7. The trick is landing on the chord notes in a melodic fashion over each chord. Add in the full chord progression Am7, Bm7, Am7 and B7. On the B7 you have to change scale, don't ask me which one, I don't know. Just land on the D# and take a break.
