What is Solea por Buleria
Also known as Buleria por Solea, Solea por Buleria is essentially a fast solea played in the buleria tonality.
It is one of the more popular palos in the modern flamenco scene. And for good reason. SpB brings together the best aspects of solea and buleria. It takes the 12-beat solea compas alongside the characteristic llamadas, remates, cierres and presents it in the key of A - aka por medio tonality. Again, it is basically a solea, however the accents fall on 3, 7, 8, 10, 12 exactly like buleria. As for the tempo I'd say from 150 bpm to 190 bpm would be a good range for this palo. Anything slower will fall into the domain of solea and if you exceed 190 then you will practically start playing buleria.
In my humble opinion por medio harmony presents a more potent array of chords for creativity than the classical Andalusian cadenza based in E. We also see many players explore various other keys within this palo, something you cannot really do in a solea without altering the most essential characteristics of the palo.
The video tutorials focus on various flamenco guitar techniques such as pulgar, arpeggio, picado, free stroke, alzapua, and rasgueado. The mixed technique video lessons incorporate several different techniques within a single falseta.
There are plenty of flamenco guitar tabs available over the internet ranging from acceptably accurate to completely wrong. I utilize different sources plus the original music itself to piece together something that is as correct as I my ears can discern :-) Besides, when you have a good video tutorial, you also receive a lesson in how to use your fingers to play the falseta.
