Online Guitar Lessons by Los Angeles Guitar Academy's LAGA Online

Soleares has a twelve-beat rhythm, each sequence of twelve beats making up one compas.  The accents fall on the third, the sixth, the eighth, and the tenth beats, with a more variable accent falling on the twelfth beat.

Practice counting aloud through twelve at a steady, even pace.  Emphasize the accented beats, repeating as many times as needed to internalize the rhythm of the compas. Again, this is something that you can do during idle moments.  A small investment of time that you might have otherwise wasted can pay big dividends in your comfort level with the music.
