Bulerías Explained LEVEL 2
28 Episodes
We highly recommend completing Level 1 before starting this level.
Level 2 picks up where Level 1 left off, beginning with the all-important “Patata Pattern” and taking off from there. Start here only if you are quite sure that your basic compás is solid, as we quickly add variations that demand a solid foundation. We cover some of the variations that will make your playing flow and give you a higher level of control over your playing, as well as considerably more variety.
The level 2 falsetas are more rhythmically complex and also more technically challenging. If they feel too challenging, you’re free to keep working on Level 1 falsetas while working on Level 2 compás, or vice-versa.
