Hola Amigos:

I have made an experiment to see if I can upload here a little Bulería.

First I converted it from Real Player to MP3 and then followed the instructions to upload here.

If I did it correct then it should be possible for all to hear the Bulería.

Saludos cordiales

Tomás

Congratulations Tomas!
Not only is your upload a success, but your Bulerias is awesome. In parts it reminds me of Paco Cepero. Maybe by next year I will start working on the 1975 Cepero Bulerias. media-f10/paco-cepero-bulerias-1975-t11.html I haven't got the tab to it yet but will someday when I feel like paying the price. The 75 Cepero and 60's Diego del Gastor Bulerias are my favorites. I can sort of play bits and pieces of each, but put them aside until I can get my Solea polished up enough for recording. I have been putting about 20 hours a week on getting it together. I bought the Melchor de Marchena tab book and haven't had much luck accomplishing even a single falseta yet. Someday I will post a sound clip, but not for at least several weeks. I also need to change my computer recording program. It has some inherent background sound I can't get rid of.

wow! there's a fire in here! ole!

Excellent! Great job, Tomas. I thoroughly enjoyed it!

Tomás, your playing speed is amazing!

It doesn't sound like your microphone was being over-driven. What type of microphone were you using and what was the distance between it and the guitar?

I have several condenser microphones. They are all so sensitive that they are easily over-driven by loud playing if they are placed within a foot of a guitar, but if they are placed further away room acoustics (reverberations) become a big factor. I have a high-quality dynamic microphone that is not nearly as sensitive and isn't over-driven by loud playing even if placed very close to a guitar, but even the highest-quality dynamic microphones tend to have poor high-frequency response compared to condenser mikes, which makes recordings less-crisp.

Todo que es flamenco mi amigo - mi inspiración . Cuando estaré listo una lección con Tomas.

Well done and old school!

Gracias Sam

I like Cepero also.
Maybe the falsetas that you mention will develop gradually over time; I mean to say that it seems quite natural that at first new falsetas feel unatural but some weeks later they begin to feel like they are comfortable.
I will look forward to hearing your clip when it is ready.
Saludos

He he, gracias..... I always think a litle fire occasionally in flamenco is OK.
