Bulerias Falseta Collection 1

Bulerias Falseta 1 ( Source: Agustin Rios/Paco del Gastor) Key: A Phrygian Mode.
This falseta is one of Agustins; the first part is an excellent example of hemiola. Bar the
2 , 3 , 4th strings (only) with the first joint of your l.h. index finger, playing the ligados with the
other available fingers (2,3, and 4). Right hand technique is all thumb.

Bulerias Falseta 2 (Source: Paco del Gastor) Key: A Phrygian Mode

I believe this falseta comes from Paco del Gastor, although Diego might have had a hand
in it. In any case, it is one of my all-time favorites; lots of excellent ligado and thumb work.
(The ending is my addition, imported from Juan Maya Marote; just one of many possible
alternatives.) You can also start the falseta on count 12, inserting an extra count just before the
final sequence.

This also has Diegos influence; a strong use of thumb/ligado.
Play Bulerias 03
Bulerias Falseta 4 (Source: Diego del Gastor, Agustin Rios) Key: A Phrygian Play Bulerias 04
Mode
Heres a falseta of Diegos with a picado finale of Agustin Rios. Note the use of octaves
in the 1st and 3rd measures. Also note the phrasing of the quadruplet picado sequences, and the
ascending 3rds.
Play Bulerias 04

This falseta makes good use of the 2nd and 3rd positions for the A Phrygian Mode.
Play Bulerias 05
Bulerias Falseta 6 (Source: Diego del Gastor) Key: A Phrygian Mode
Play Bulerias 06
Here is a short falseta of Diegos with some interesting syncopation and a typical use of
the thumb.
Play Bulerias 07

This falseta is one of Diegos trademarks. Note the interesting phrasing.
Play Bulerias 08

A good ligado exercise in the 2nd and 3rd positions.
Play Bulerias 09

Heres another octave falseta with a syncopated ending.
Play Bulerias 10
Bulerias Falseta 10 (Source: El Mellizo) Key: A Phrygian Mode

This falseta (and the next one) are from Francisco El Mellizo, Diegos brother. These
are some of the most haunting and beautiful Bulerias falsetas in the Flamenco repertoire, and in
the proper setting can really inpire a singer. What is most important in falsetas like these is the
notes that are NOT played........
Play Bulerias 11
Bulerias Falseta 11 (Source: El Mellizo) Key: A Phrygian Mode

Another beautiful falseta from El Mellizo.
Bulerias Falseta 12 (Source: Sabicas) Key: F# Minor (Relative to A Major)
Play Bulerias 12
Agustin told me that this is one of Sabicas falsetas, although Ive never discovered it on
any of his recordings. Nevertheless, it does have Sabicas compositional genius. You could also
think of the falseta in Bm; however, I usually perform this falseta out of an A Major chording
compas, as in the accompanying recording.
Bulerias Falseta 13 (Source: Paco del Gastor/Diego del Gastor)

(F# Minor relative to A Major)
Play Bulerias 13
Heres another falseta in the relative minor to A major. Ive heard a lot of guitarists
perform this falseta, and am not absolutely certain of its geneology.
Play Bulerias 14
Bulerias Falseta 14: (Source: Diego del Gastor) Key: A Major

This falseta is another of Diegos famous trademarks. Use your 3rd finger (l.h.) for the
slides. Use picado for the right hand. The melody is a Spanish folk song La Zarzamora (The
Blackberry)
Play Bulerias 14
Play Bulerrias 15

This falseta has some interesting lligado counter-rhythms in the last measures, as well as
a method of expressing chords in 6/8 time (see also falseta 25).
Play Bulerias 16

Another of Diegos ideas. Falsetas like this are often improvised, and you get to hear
them only once, if you happen to be in the right place, at the right time.
Play Bulerias 17

Diego often performed this falseta in juergas. It is a great picado falseta in the old style.
Play Bulerias 18

Heres another falseta of Diegos with an octave finale characteristic of the Moron style
(see also falseta 19)
Play Bulerias 19

Heres another of Diegos famous trademarks. This falseta has great expressive good
humor in the appropriate situation.
Play Bulerias 20
Bulerias Falseta 20: (Source: Diego del Gastor) Key: A Minor

Heres a falseta of Diego del Gastor in A minor. Use your thumb for this one.
Play Bulerias 21

Another falseta in the old style, using octaves.
Play Bulerias 22

Note the interesting way the phrases resolve in this falseta.
Play Bulerias 23

Here is a melodic falseta of Diegos; again, note the interesting resolution.
Play Bulerias 24

Another of Diegoss famous trademarks. He usually bends the chords a little for
expression.
Play Bulerias 25

This falseta is similar to Falseta 15 in concept; it somewhat reminds me of Autumn
Leaves. (This brings up an interesting point. Often Diego would hear snatches of themes of
American pop music (usually from Americans at the base in Moron), and woud work them into
his toque. Americans at juergas would often be disconcerted by a Bulerias falseta with the theme
of In a Little Spanish Town or even How dry I am thrown in with all the rest of the funky
Gypsy stuff. Of course the Gypsies just thought it was more funky Gypsy stuff.
Bulerias Falseta 26 (Source: Diego del Gastor) Key: B Minor
Play Bulerias 26
Heres a rather extended Bulerias falseta from Diegos Suite in B Minor; its
construction is interesting; note the syncopation/polyrhythm (5 + 5 + 2) in the chord sequence.
One point: I play this a little differently on the tape from the way it is written. After I recorded it,
I went back and realized that the arpeggios were different from the way I learned it from Diego.
The difference is slight; on the tape I alternate basses, where as Diego arpeggiated them.
Play Bulerias 26
Bulerias Falseta 27 (Source: Uncertain) Key: A Phrygian Mode
Play Bulerias 27
This falseta and the next are similar, in the old style. You used to hear these performed
quite often, but Im not sure whose they are. Perhaps Melchor de Marchena, or Morao, but
maybe earlier. I doubt they are Diegoss, since they have a different style, or aire from his.
Bulerias Falseta 28 (Source: Uncertain) Key: A Phrygian Mode
Play Bulerias 28
This falseta is a variation of the preceding one, and probably from the same source.
Bulerias Falseta 29: (Source: Diego Del Gastor) Key: A Phrygian Mode
Play Bulerias 29
Heres yet another famous falseta of Diegos; he uses variations of this in various places,
for effect.
