This technique is giving me the most difficulty of all the flamenco techniques. Just in case my terminology is off, I'm talking about the fast tresillo strums. I have been mostly practicing p-ma-p, where the first thumb is an upstroke, the first mi is a downstroke, and the last p is also a downstroke, and also ma-p-p, where ma is down, p down and p up. I recently spoke with a local flamenco guitarist who told me he exclusively uses p-a-i, where p is up, a is down, i is down. He said he does it this way so that the full breadth of the nail is always striking the strings, and never the underside of the nail. I find that way of doing it very cumbersome. It's slow, and I have to shift my hand a lot more. I have also seen a variation on that last one that was p-q-i (q = pinky). What do you guys use, and do you have any exercises to increase speed? My hand does not want to cooperate very well on this.
