Rui, The best advice I have received from any teacher is to play with minimal effort/low volume especially when you are practicing at home. It is more important to play the mechanism (i.e., rasgueo, arpeggio, picado, etc) correctly. Playing with a lot of force/effort and too much volume where your muscles are very tight will cause injury and will impede your ability to play at rapid tempos. Whenever you feel insecure about a technique or falseta, etc., you should approach it with low volume and a light touch to avoid a build-up of tension in your hands, arms, and body. I would try to increase tempo without increasing volume as well. It is important not to associate fast tempos with loud/forceful playing.
