"Cosa Blanca" by G P Hall

This Video...
flamenco rhythms in a improvised style..I usually write my own flamenco..but this is a favourite and one of the first I ever learnt...Thanks for the comments I appreciate that the die herds have to have it right but I am a free player and sometimes I hate control I also play this on a 6-string bass which is an octave down but tuned the same as a guitar EADGBE put through an overdrive and played on monster stereo speakers. try that for traditional, I don't have to know the compas I don't want to play ridged...anyway guys one of the best players I heard was Philip John Lee and he came from UK ..And of course I love Manitas De Plata but he came from Southern France and played with a gypsy spirit isn't that what its about!! it's not about getting it right, for me it's about letting go. I don't work with dancers! I put a lot of my own style into it. But if I want to get it right if there is such a thing then I will leave it to others I had to edited it as I got carried away and played much longer..anyway I hope you like it? flamenco should be improvised . no malice intended thanks GP

I thought it sounded great - guess youĺl always get rigid people when it comes to classical music. A personś interpretation is THE most important aspect in any music. Just think of all those blues guys saying to Hendrix - ¨you can say it´s the blues¨ - didn't happen :-). I'm glad.

@mosedavid1 Thanks I had to change the title from soleares to Cosa Blanca because of traditionalists, I thank you for your kind comments, I agree Hendrix did not play by the rules. we were born originals let us not be copies. GP

well played mate! i just started playing flamenco myself. might take a while to reach your standard though :-P

how long you been playin flamenco?

@delboy1978uk It seems you dont know about flamenco :) Solea is based on 12 beat pattern with accents on 3, 6, 8, 10 and 12 starting from 1. Also should point out that the rasgeo techniques used are too harsh and not even close to what it should be. I'm not saying this for hatred or anything negative towards your music, but I am just pointing out that atleast it is not flamenco, though some similar patterns could be noticed during the play. Try watching for teachers like Ruben Diaz here in tube

I changed the title appreciate die hards have to have it right but I am a free player & hate control. I also play this on a 6-string bass through overdrive on monster stereo speakers try that for traditional. one of the best players I heard was Philip John Lee he from UK & of course Manitas De Plata came from Southern France played with a gypsy spirit isn’t that what it’s about! it’s not about getting it right, it’s about letting go,if people need to get it right I will leave it to others.

Josema. Con todos mis respetos VD. NO SABE LO QUE ES UNA SOLEÁ.

[lindasfella]

compas ?

[MrSoladam]

The professional playing guitar!

[guitarraflamenca1]

wonderful... but would be phenomenon if played in compas.. :)

[SolearesSam]

I very respectfully agree with Jose Martinez Caro. This is NOT a Soleares as it does not follow the required 12 count compas. Very nice guitar playing and Spanish sounding, but not flamenco or a Solea.

[SolearesSam]

Just to agree with Jose Martinez Caro ... with all respect I agree flamenco should be improvised, but compas must be correct! This is NOT a Solea nor flamenco. You are a talented guitar player, but not flamenco.

[symbolsim]

well played but you should try playing a little softer apoyandos and rasgueados to get more accents in your playing=)you beat my by a 100 times though.
