​

Cepa Andaluza is arguably one of the best bulerias ever composed. It is certainly the most sophisticated buleria by Paco de Lucia that marks the pinnacle of his early period in-between La Fabulosa Guitarra and Fuente y Caudal. Cepa Andaluza uses every single flamenco guitar technique to its limit stretching the boundaries of what can be played without breaking your left hand.

In most falsetas of Cepa Andaluza, Paco pursued melodic ideas and put aside what can be conveniently played within the limits of flamenco guitar technique.

If you are interested in studying Cepa Andaluza I suggest you look at his earlier bulerias first, such as El Tempul  and Punta del Faro
Bulerias (aka buleria) is one of the most popular forms of flamenco guitar music.

Everybody wants to learn how to play buleria. And for good reason. It is the flashiest of all palos requiring all the catchy flamenco guitar techniques. Again it uses the 12-beat structure like solea but interestingly the compas takes 12 as the starting point. The accents fall on 12, 3, 7, 8, 10. Alternately, it can be 12, 3, 6, 8, 10. But I prefer the one that uses the 7, 8 accents because when I do the tap tap golpe on those two beats, I am reassured that I have not strayed away from the compas. Or if I have gotten lost then I wait for those two adjacent taps to get back on the compas flow.

Other palos such as Solea can tolerate some rhythmical flexibility but buleria can absolutely not. You need to stay in perfect compas for your performance to be perceived and appreciated as buleria, and if you don't want your butt kicked by the instructor if you are accompanying a dance class.

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.
