Give me critics on my rasgueos please 
Ok so i posted a month or so ago and heard your pointers and tried fixing them, changed around, practiced more, would like your opinions now.

2 seperate videos, ( one with flicking of the thumb one without )

First is of a tangos thing, where the rageous are AMI-I , all flicked off the thumb.

The Second is Alegrias where the rageous are EAMI (alldown) followed by AMI-I , not flicked of the thumb.

Tangos Rasgeou :

Alegrias Rasgeou :

The audio might not sound great, recorded of my phone! Thanks in advance!

Thanks so much for your input jof, i'm aware that my stuff might not sound like they're ment to, i haven't started with any of the compas yet, but i thought i'd practice rasgeuos with them so it's merely more enjoyable since it's more melodic rather than muting and playing it for hours and hours a day ( which i still do ) .
Thanks for the tension pointer too, this is all a bit new to me ( been playing guitar for roughly 10 years, but started flamenco at the beginning of 2014 ) i'll try be more relaxed. Thanks!

Along the same lines, I think you need to up your groove factor. All forms have a certain groove and you can achieve that groove without all the rageos. Looking back I feel like even the Juan Martin beginner type books introduce all these different rageos before the person even really understands the groove. It shouldn't even be "can I bob my head to this?" It should be "this makes me bob my head!". I think you should start playing these forms with NO rageos, just i finger up and down till it sounds solid and groovy, THEN introduce rageos, you'll feel how they fit better too.

In terms of the rageos themselves, your well on your way. But a little more control will go a long way. You should be able to hit 2-3 specific strings at a time to bring certain tones depending on the context of the rageo.
Keep up the good work, get the funk and be intentional with those rageos.

I agree with Leñador and Jof! Keep it simple for now.

This video is great for practice, it´s in Spanish but just try and copy what you see and hear.

Good luck and keep up the good work
