OK, IMA are all played together. GM is suggesting starting with all fingers in the ready same position as if doing AMI rasgueado - in other words, the fingers are curled and placed on the inside of a cocked thumb. Flicking against the thumb gives a more articulate 'ping' type stroke which is how rasgueado is played/taught these days. What is the purpose of this stroke? Well its heavier than a downstroke with just I, so if you want a more emphatic stroke to emphasise the compas (ie the accents), you could use it. In this particular exercise, you are just training that stroke, so its all a bit one dimensional, but in real toque that I finger would be tickling away on the top strings quite a lot keeping the rhythm going, and you can drop an IMA (or simply MA, or whatever..) now and again to mark the accents (the other way of course with golpe). That's a terrible woolly explanation of what is a lot easier to demonstrate! As for the picture, either its a reverse or Paco is tuning his guitar the wrong way around for a laugh... Jon
