Gitanos Trianeros is an important piece in the Paco de Lucia repertoire as it contains the roots of many amazing solea falsetas Paco came up with in the following 40 years. And also solea (soleares) is the mother of all palos. It is essential for any musician who wishes to learn how to play flamenco guitar. Solea has all the characteristic ingredients (both flamenco music and flamenco guitar techniques) that make a guitar piece flamenco.
Solea is based on the 12-beat compas, which is the most commonly used meter in flamenco music.
Within one bar (measure) there are 12 beats (quarter notes) and each musical sentence starts and ends within these 12 beats. The "cierre" starts on the 10th beat and marks the end of the sentence and takes up 2 beats .
Then there are the accents that mold the flow of music into something that relates to a larger context of musical performance i.e. singing, dancing.
The accents are on the beats 3, 6, 8, 10, and 12.
Watch the videos in the youtube video lesson paying attention to the compas. You will see that the accents are embedded in the music either as golpes or notes/chords that stick out.
Solea accents take on a special importance if you are composing your own falsetas. But for now don't worry about that. Simply play the falsetas and observe how each musical phrase makes use of these accents to incorporate the feel and flow of solea.
Solea is our entry point into flamenco music. Master this palo well, and you will figure out the others relatively easily.
The Gitanos Trianeros (solea) video tutorials focus on various flamenco guitar techniques such as pulgar, arpeggio, picado, free stroke, alzapua, and rasgueado.
