In this lesson we break down the compás for Alegrias - a 12-beat compás that's faster than a Soleá but not as fast as a Buleria. All of the right-hand patterns here also apply perfectly to Soleá por Buleria.
You can start Alegrias compás on either 12 or 1, and learning how to go back and forth easily is an important part of playing compas. This tutorial shows you how to get comfortable switching between the two, and the how to vary your compás.
A few 7-8-9-10 phrases for Alegras and how to incorporate them into your compás. Learn to vary your Alegrias compás!
Taken from the Alegrias Compás tutorial video, we've put together 1:20 minutes of compás and looped them 10X times so for easy play-along practice.
