Thanks Phil!
Fapy is on the teaching staff for DiJ 2026
Terrific concert.
His composition Plachterida is really nice.
Love that song, so beautiful. Hopefully I'll get to hear it live this June. And hearing Fapy in person play What A Difference a Day Makes is on my bucket list.
“Plachterida” means “Butterfly” in the Sinti language - kind of matches the feeling of the melody.
Anybody have a chart of the tune?
(If not, I guess I'll have to work it out myself -
this version shows Fapi's fingerboard fairly clearly)
You're looking for chords?
Buco, I'm looking for the melody.
Ah, even if I knew it, it wouldn't be written out.
I can't remember where I got it from but this pdf seems to cover it all.
Brilliant - many thanks Chris.
I had just started learning the melody and this will really help speed up things.
Apart from being a lovely tune, I also find it intesting that it sounds close to the tradition of Portuguese guitar pieces such as those played by maestro Carlos Paredes. I do know Fapy also plays Portuguese guitar so this may have contributed to the composition, I guess.
