Hi Matija,

Welcome to the falseta forum!

To my ears the palmas starts at 1, and the guitar at 12.

tnx for answer

when i start count on 12. its ok in first few bars, but the rest of the song seems wrong somehow, so when i start on 6., beat at beggining, the rest of the song seems ok... or maybe i am wrong lol...
i am using pacemaker plugin for winamp to slow the tempo so its more easy to count...

try counting it in 6's instead of 12's. you're just going to hit a brick wall eventually when thinking about bulerias in 12's.

The advice At_leo_87 gives is worth a milion dollars, I even think most pro's count in 6.
Here the same song with Paco, you see him tune up the guitar and starts pretty random, at 6 or 12. bet he did not count the knockings...
