The following Collections of Falsetas are available from the Academy of Flamenco Guitar. If you download the TrueSpeech Player, (or your browser already supports it (you can click on each falseta to sample it. (It will write a temporary file to your /temp directory). For further information, see the Audio ReadMe page. You can also try the .wav version; it may work better with your system.
As a supplement to the Academy courses, I have produced a collection of guitar falsetas for the toques of Bulerias, Soleares, Siguiriyas, and Alegrias. These are expressed in tablature (cifra) notation, and recorded on audio cassettes. They include some of the best material within the tradition, ranging from funky old style falsetas to the complex creations of the concert Flamenco guitar. There are approximately twenty falsetas for each of the above toques.
Included with the above is a collection of fifty Bulerias falsetas on videotape; this includes most of the Bulerias falsetas in the audio collection. Since much of the tablature for these falsetas is included in the audio collection above, I haven't yet produced tablature for the remaining falsetas. Nevertheless, I am confident that with the theory and ear training of the methods you'll be able to figure them out, especially since you can see them performed as well as hear them.
We are vitally concerned with your progress toward authentic Flamenco, and your pleasure in pursuing the art. To this end we offer a very simple guarantee: if you purchase any of our offerings and find that it isn't what you want, return it within 30 days and we'll refund your money immediately, no strings attached.
