Bulerias Month

I decreed June bulerías month in order to sand down some of the rough edges I've accumulated in my practice.

• Imprecise rasgueos
  
• no command of speed, always feeling like I'm catching up
  
• no confidence in falsetas
  
• no confidence in picado
  
• relying too much on the base compas, not approaching the palo with much inspiration

Some ways I've remedied that.

• warm up with metronome and palo seco rasgueos (albañico, three/four finger, controlling wrist movements for maximum power and precision, periodically testing sound by playing some chords
• focused on playing one falseta in progressively faster speed using VLC player
• finding the more difficult parts to play and playing them as per the recording of teacher
• marking the compás to grasp the feeling of the falseta in time
• playing the falseta with solo compás, to test being in time
• rinse and repeat
