Theory/composition advice.

Payul, Quality was fine and nicely done example. I agree that the omitting of the remate is usually in solo guitar. Out of all the Solea falsetas I play, only two go beyond 12. It took me awhile to get them on compas. I play several rhythm patterns that go 24 beats before a remate. What can get confusing for beginners is a rhythm or falseta that stops on 10 and 11 and 12 are silent then the new 12 counts start.

Thanks Frontera!

Yes the 11 and 12 silence is difficult in the beginning, I remember when I started playing, I filled them up sometimes with two golpe,s

Thanks for all the brilliant help and audio examples- perhaps for the first time with this guitar playing businness I feel I am practising the right things!

A question just to clarify though:

The remate is basically just the part a progression that has that 'resolved' feel to it? Is this correct? And it needs to be used more for accompanying the singing to give it that anchoring effect as you mention (and perhaps a more flamenco sound?) whereas in solo guitar it neednt be used so frequently?

Thanks

Well, there are no "laws" in this, I would say, in a solo piece use the remate if you can, and only leave it out when it is requiered musically.
You are making a Solea, so try to make it sound too as a Solea.
