Alegría compás

Continuing from the previous post… here is some alegría. Nearly everything consists of rasgueados and a couple of very short falsetas. You will notice that the compás (featuring cajón, palmas">palmas and jaleo) is excellently done. This is not my work, but a track that I have used from the excellent series of cds called “Solo Compás”. Buy it to practice with. The quality of the playing is so much better than mine!

The tempo is really quite fast – but that should make getting the basic rhythm tighter easier than slower tempos.

This recording does not pretend to be perfect – there are plenty of places that need work, but Old Man Time tells me that it is time to stop, and so I have. Can you hear my errors? can you correct them? I look forwards to working on this myself over the next week or so. And that means that you have a chance to look forwards to improvements!

After hearing the file off the net, I realize that there is some distortion. I will upload another recording some time this week.
