In this video we look at how to practice compás once you have the basic concepts down. We start by looking at Soleá, though the the concepts apply to pretty much all Palos. At the 15:10 mark we get into practicing Bulerias compás, and at 22:52 we get into one of the very specific things that messes people up in Seguirillas and how to practice not doing that!
At 10:10 the video mentioned 'Anatomy of a compás' lives here: https://learn.flamencoexplained.com/videos/anatomy-of-a-compas-solea-1971-manuel-de-la-chica
Kai and Juan perform a Soleá that includes a Salida, two letras (each in a different style) and a Macho that speeds up a bit and goes to the parallel Major key.
The Salida isn't technically a letra, but it's the first thing you'll have to play if you're accompanying a Soleá. In this video Kai and Juan discuss the Salida, show you some examples, and break it all down.
In this video we get to the heart of accompanying por Soleá by looking at the letras. We break down the entire letra and also show you what to listen for so you can know what letra is coming and how to accompany it.
