I've been away. But not from my guitar. Now I'm on to Siguiriyas. I love it. I'd sum it up as: strong, driven, beautiful, bittersweet.
The count is like soleares but starts in a different place. You begin with the 2 beats then go to 3s.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 rest.
But I actually count it to 5, which for some bizarre and unfathomable reasons I can do easily with this but not with soleares or bularias.
1 and 2 and 3 and-a four-and-a five. Pause. One...
Equally strangely: counting this way to 5 rather than 12 makes me feel uber flamenco.
Here is someone doing it better than me. (Although I'm not bad at it, so feeling good about my playing. Watch our compadres.)
