Triplet rasgueo

Hi everybody,

New user need some advice.

I am trying to learn some flamenco by using the book "manual didactico de la guitarra flamenca" by Manuel Granados . I am now trying to learn the alegrias nivel 1 where you come across the P ñ i rasgueo and would really appreciate if somebody could listen to my recording and tell me if i have the general idea down or not.

Since the recording on the CD is so much faster its hard for me to say if i am practicing it wrong or not.

I am playing slow at 72 BPM

Best regards, cheers and sorry for my poor English!

Sound ok, but the rhythm more likely was supposed to be even triplets(?). The rhythm you make is two 16ths and an 8th, but I would think they would be 8th note triplets. Just a guess, I don't have the book.

Majority does P A I instead of the pinky.

Thanks you very much for the feedback Ricardo. This is how it’s supposed to sound like http://vocaroo.com/i/s1MZIbM0RA98 i was playing to a metronome and thought that if I started the triplet on the beat as according to the tab and ending it right before the next beat and so on I would be in compás.

Could yo perhaps give me a pointer on how to count triplets?

Yes I know the P A I is how it’s mostly played nowadays but I want to learn all the classic rasgueos.

Your taking a small break between your sets of 3, they should be even. Though the recording your using sounds like it has a bit of speeding up towards the end of the triplets, I guess it's rubato for musical effect but you wouldn't generally do that in alegrias(some exceptions)......Maybe that's meant to be an intro of sorts??

Best way to count triplets, 1 and uh 2 and uh 3 and uh etc.........

Thank a lot Lenador your input clarified things for me. Could you say that the “end note” of a triplet should always land just before the next beat to get that continuous sound or in other words space the triplet out evenly throughout the beat?

You can't say always, your triplets could start before the beat and end ON the beat. Like:
and uh 1 and uh 2 and uh 3
or
uh 1 and uh 2 and uh 3 and
or like I said before
1 and uh 2 and uh 3 and uh

They should always be evenly spaced though.........
