In my short (5 years on and off ) guitar playing career (sounds grand but I only play for myself and occassionally a little Sevillanas for my 6 year old niece) I have probably tried about 30 pieces from about 8 palos.

Some have got extended by adding falsetas which probably don't sit to comfortably side by side but they allow me to incrementally move on

But having just returned from Spain, got my guitar into action again, I realise I can only play about 6 pieces that amount to about 15 minutes playing. (And I have never played any other genres on guitar so this is truely my lot)

Yesterday I remembered a nice short simple Martin alegrias and then realised having not played it for a year that it had gone. Odd notes strung together but it was lost. I remember I had worked hard on that for months

Just wondered how many or how much other hobbyist players retain? (perhaps my memory is going )

Nigel you are ahead of me! 6 pieces and 15 minutes has me crying uncle. I cannot even remember how to play the Taranta I put together and recorded. I did not write down any tab and it was all improvisational based on Diego del Gastor, so I may never remember what I did in places. I have been playing fairly regularly for the last 6 years after a nearly a 30 year break from guitar. I made a living from playing, teaching, and repairing flamenco and classical guitars for a few years in my twenties. I have been working on my Alegrias and Bulerias during any time I could find to practice this summer and tried playing some other palos yesterday and couldn't remember falsetas I have played several hundred times. I use to play 8 different Sevillanas without thinking ... now I can only remember one of them. I could play over 100 Solea falsetas ... now maybe 10. I do not think my memory is going ... I think it already left the building.

i think it's okay to forget. maybe that's why the pros never play the same thing exactly the same twice. i try to learn one falsetta a day but it's very tough. i think i'll just try to remember the gist of things and improvise from now on.
