12 beat Compas repeats for the first 6 beats accenting on the 3s , then for the next 6 beats its like a role reversal between them going something like Off On Off, On Off On,
So the whole 12 beat Compas would look something like:
Off Off On, Off Off On, Off On off, On Off On
The On sections being the accents , the offs beings multi stroke Rasguedos amongst other slightly softer beats.
I'm kinda just thinking out loud here with my recent developments regarding compa's , so if anything i said seems sketchy or out of Rhythm, let a brother know!
RE: The Patterns within 12 beats (in reply to withinity)
Its important to note i did not write this post from a theoretical standpoint , it is starting to become natural as in not needing to think as much when executing the compass within basic chord structures , so i demonstrated the pattern like it is in my head and how i reflect that on the guitar. Wanting to be safer than sorry for learning bad habits is why i posted this in case anyone cares to share some criticism on my understanding of the 12 beat Compas so far.
