This short Tangos solo features a lot of compás and three falsetas that cover arpeggio, alzapua and picado techniques. You can learn it as played or you can think of it as a template for dropping in new falsetas and compás variations as you learn them.
This arpeggio falseta, which works great as an intro or anywhere in your Tangos, is relatively simple but has a few little technical challenges and some syncopation that make a bit less simple than it may seem.
This may be simplest falseta in the course in terms of technique, though the syncopation will be tricky for some. It’s a great hard-driving falseta played on the bass strings that requires solid coordination of the left and right hands and a good feel for the compás.
Another good candidate for an intro falseta, this one introduces a new technique of adding a pull-off in the middle of an arpeggio that is quite common in flamenco.
