I learned the family of strums using the wrist movement as "Abanico" or fan. P up, a down, i down is one of the main abanico strums. The one called "marote" I also consider in the family, but refers specifically to p up, m or am together down, p down. These are all triplet based movements. To smooth out uneveness, think in terms of even rhythms not triplets. 2,4,or 8 notes per beat. For p,a, i,p, a, i, it is important that p and i move together downward which keeps the hand closed. For p, am, p, p, am, p, the fingers move down but the thumb stays up, opening the hand.

i prefer p a i than p m p ,for me it's smoother and cant control better what strings I hit. P m p it is said it is a lot faster ,so I guess both should be learned . But I think u also need a 3 stroke rasgueado without p like: a i(down) i (up ) or m i(down) i (up). Also another 3 stroke rasgueado but tricky is : p (up) ami (together down). As u notice u have just 2 strokes so to make a 3 stroke u will have to know how to accentuate . I mean P ami p Ami p ami P.This should sound Ta-ta-ta-Ta-ta-ta-TA. I have troubles with this one also ,but doing rasgueadoes like this helps in my opinion to get some good wrist movement. Ricardo's advice to count in two the 3 stroke rasgueados (btw,also called tresillios. The marote is a tresillo for example,anyway the name is not important) is good. My advice is do not try to play 20000000000 continuos rasgueados,that wont help. Try do to little rhytm accentuating with a last movement .Instead of doing many continuos rasgueados try to do just one or a couple ,but fast. Example : Ta-ta-ta -TA or Ta-ta-ta-Ta-ta-ta-TA It is not that important after all to be able to do for half an hour continuos rasgueados,if u look at a buleria ...u'll see that more important is to do quick and short ones.Anyway,take it slow...and exercise on your jeans when u dont have a guitar,that worked for me
