The rasgueados that Morao does during the compas sections are just superb. If I'm not mistaken, he does NOT launch the fingers from the palm or from having them tucked into the side of the thumb. However, he can still get a REALLY strong sound, which is quite staccato. I guess that is more of the "old school" way of doing rasgueados. What's the trick to getting such a sound without firing the fingers away from the palm or the thumb? I try doing that, but end up with mush...
For example, at 0:43 until the end of that compas section.

there is no trick. its just super hard and kind of speciallity of Moraito imo.
specially if you want to do continous rasgueados the way moraito does them. (no flicking from thumb - but from inside of his hand) , forget it imo.
most people who do such rasgueados, don't sound good. but moraito does it a way where it sounds traditional (a little mush) and "seperated" (modern) at the same time. its fantastic.
also generally one note to moraito: when i bought the encuentro, i thought to myself: finally, something which is easy to play, and which sounds good and modern at the same time.
then i realized , it was just an illusion, because he might play fewer notes, but the WAY he plays guitar and makes the guitar sound, is sometimes as difficult as playing a fast picado, etc.

Arash, my friend...
You are rapidly becoming an "OldSchooler"
It starts with just a taste....and then before you know it, you need more and more.
I'll give you 12 months before you're trying to find all the old Niño Ricardo stuff on the net...
