MODERN BULERIAS

This "Bulerías" has two main differences between traditional and modern ones, the rhythm and the tonality. I mean the clave rhythm is just the same but the way of thinking it´s different. I treat it as a "Fandango". It really has the same beats I mean four bars of a 3/4 time signature.



This bulerias is a fragment form my second album "Tres Herencias".  I use dissonance chords moving in parallel. I mean the way chords weave into each other is just one tone backwards. Hope you enjoy it.

 

SOLEA POR BULERIAS

You can listen the strenth of such style that is "Solea por Bulerias". The tempo velocity is in between the "Bulerias" and "Solea" style. The mode used is Frygian and the time is a 3/4 enclose in four bars which are accentuated as follows: in the first beat of the first and second bars, in the first and third beat of the third bar and in the second beat of the fourth bar. That´s all. Flamenco music has a "Clave" which I have just explained to you. A Flamenco guitarist needs to managed this clave rhythm and be capable of improvising over it.

MAJOR BULERIAS

Here you are a traditional flamenco bulerias in major tonality. Hope you enjoy it.....

MEDITATION THROUGH GUITAR

At the end we could make a real meditation session just by organizing a timetable during we could focus on the main technique or interpretation areas. To get a real mediatation session you have to design a complex practice session focusing in sensations on your hands.  I experienced in twenty years of teaching that most important and diffcult obstacle to get over is a right practice. Most people think that to play guitar is the same that study it. Wrong, it is completely different. When you study guitar you have to keep in mind many advices the teacher gives you in order to internalize this concepts and goes straight to the subconcious. To achive this objetive you have to study slowly for a long period of time and after years of practice fortunately you should be able to incorporate them in real time. I mean something that you have to understand is that understanding in music study is much faster than internalize the concepts. To internalize this advices or concepts teachers had been encouraging their students to repeat and repeat. Believe me that a good comprenhension sometimes turn out in a handicap for a student. For this reason many students overrate themselfs and that is a huge error for the learning process

SPANISH FLAMENCO GUITAR SOCIETY - SFGS

This society cover everything related with flamenco guitar teaching. It is run by Jose Deluna plus there´s a big team working together to organize the best Flamenco Guitar Summer Intesive. The course is focuse in the real Flamenco learning process I mean "One on One". SFGS concentrate in teaching through the listening and taking part of the lesson every minute. "Learn to learn" is the best way to get our aims in a future. SFGS aims is to form new flamenco guitarists who can improve through the years.

SFGS has designed a revolutionary method that never before existed in the flamenco guitar teaching.

AMAZING SONIQUETE

It´s difficult to understund such term end even more difficult to teach this concept. In order to communicate this concept you should listen guitarists who posesses such quality in their playing.
When a guitarist is playing you can listen dynamnics inside the melodic phrases but there´s no rules but feeling. In order to get "Soniquete" you have to spend some time with people who master this concept.

Listen Paco de Lucia,s soniquete and hopefully you will discover what I mean.
