I'll send you a synth version when I find it soon.
The bulerias, Richard, is the secret of flamenco.

A lot of fun to look at this - I'm sure it sounds great too.

Muchas gracias, Jeff - I really enjoyed that. Wow - the fingering required to play that on guitar!
The sheet music is in 3 for convenience, with the 12 beat count written in underneath, is that right?

The difficulty has made me procrastinate to record this - and it would have to be a bit slower.
You can write it in 3/4 time - actually 3/8 is more common - because 3 divides nicely into 12, so 3 beats/ measure for 4 measures is one
"compás". But the issue is the accents.
They fall on 3/6/8/10/and 12, and sometimes 7, and the chords go up on three and resolve back on 10.
Then it frequently goes 1a2 3 (456) 78 (9) 10. Plus real flamenco traditionally is not written, but improvised, so all this must be internalized.
Thanks again for your generous attention.
Jeff

Ah! Hence your comment about the form requiring decades to master!
You're very welcome.
