This falseta is based on an Estribillo, or chorus, of a sung Tangos. It’s groovy and very playable, though the tag at the end can be just a bit challenging. You don’t have to play that tag, but it’s a fun one to learn and good for practicing your arpeggio to picado transition.

Tangos Explained - Thumb Tomatito Falseta - Performance
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...
