How to Use a Proper Thumb Technique for the Flamenco Guitar in the Compás of Soleares
In this lesson, I want to show you a very popular falseta for the compás of Soleares; it’s a rather basic falseta—that is, “basic” to the extent that its a falseta that most flamenco guitar players learn when they are first learning Soleares; it’s also basic in the sense that its a bit of a stock falseta, but the truth about this falseta is that it is a very good exercise for the thumb—including rapid movement and alzapua.
…But, we are we are going to attempt to make this falseta sound less basic by adding some nuances like rasqueado just before the first beat. We’ll also ad a accented golpe on the 3rd and 6th beast to really emphasize the rhythm. Enjoy!
Warm regards,

truly enjoy your teaching style… i am very interested in how to join your teachingBlog, and pay whatever the monthly fees are… I lived in Espana/Ronda in the 70’s and studied their, and that was 50 years ago.. i am currently trying to rekindle the Flamenco Flame that once burned brightly. I have forgotten more material than i can remember, but have enjoyed learning a new Solaraes falsetas, and desire to spend many a day/month with you and your talant.
