Here’s a short but tricky Alegrias falseta that will really work both your left hand and your compás. In addition to some 16th note slurs that include a lot of pinky action, the phrases don’t quite resolve where we would expect them to. Once you’ve learned the notes, make sure you’re really comfortable with where the slurred phrases start and stop to make sure you stay in compás. Hint - most of the phrases do NOT end on beat 10!
One of my favorite Tomatito falsetas por Tangos, this one features thumb and alzapua techniques, along with some big left hand stretches. Most of it is ‘simple’ but not easy, especially to get it to sound as powerful as Tomatito does when he plays it. And the little alzapua bit at the end is neit...
A traditional arpeggio falseta made up of elements that we can also use in constructing compás. We've run into most of this material earlier in the Compás Embellishments video.
