The first Bulerías falseta I ever wrote 🙂 Each phrase is made up of 8th notes that start on 12 and end on 6, so by now it should just be a matter of learning the notes.

This is a very traditional falseta in the Morón style (Morón de la Frontera is a town not too far from Sevilla that’s famous for its flamenco). The falseta is relatively simple and involves thumb technique in the right hand and some slurs in the left hand. The phrasing is very traditional and thi...

A relatively simple falseta that is traditionally phrased with 8th notes starting on beat 12 and ending on beat 6, until the final longer phrase which starts on 12 and end on beat 6 of the next compás.

A simple but very effective intro for Tarantas that features a lot of the “connective tissue” ideas at the end, this one is also taken from Paco’s ‘Tarantos Populares,’ but is played as Taranta and not in strict Tarantos time. This is played slow and looped several times.

One of my falsetas that I use as an intro, this one features some advanced arpeggio patterns and a bit of alzapua and thumb at the end. It’s really two falsetas joined together, but since I almost always play them as one I thought I’d present them that way here. This is played slow and looped sev...

A longer and somewhat more lyrical Falseta of mine that features a couple of left-hand stretches and little bit of a bunch of other techniques. This is played slow and looped several times.

A picado falseta by Kai Narezo that features some long runs at the beginning and a bit of thumb towards the end. This is played slow and looped several times.

A fun picado falseta of mine that ends with some tricky coordination between the two hands that sound quite powerful when you get the hang of it. This is played slow and looped several times.

Inspired by Paco de Lucia’s “Tarantos Populares” recording, this is a simple Tarantos falsetas that uses employs standard thumb technique as well as some thumb/index alternation. This is played at 52bpm and looped several times.

A more modern approach to the Tarantos Escobilla, you can think of this chord progression and arpeggio pattern as a jumping-off point for all sorts of Tarantos Escobilla material or play it as-is. This is played at 52bpm and looped several times.

This is one version of a very traditional Escobilla for Tarantos. As I explain in the video, there are many (sometimes weird) ways of playing this falseta for dance, but the essential melody remains the same, and you can use any variation for solo guitar. This is played at 52bpm and looped severa...

Another traditional Escobilla falseta for Tarantos, more or less as played by Paco de Lucia on his “Tarantos Populares,” this one involves quite a bit of picado and some quick changes from picado to thumb. This is played at 52bpm and looped several times.

A great and challenging falseta, again inspired by Paco de Lucia’s “Tarantos Populares,” this one features some left-hand stretches and quite a bit of Picado. This is played at 52bpm and looped several times.
