What? I really think you're mistaking me for Fred...
Damn, my mistake, automatically it seemed to me there was only one guy from portugal and indeed fred was mixed with rui... Sorry because it was inappropriate. Unless Ricardo is right(just joking)...
Rui, below is a response of yours from estebanana's triplet rasgueado thread.... Should you have actually posted it on this one?
It reads quote....
''Try Vicente's posture/hand position for that, it looks very efficient to achieve high speeds. There are some recent videos where he does some high octane rasgueos. I would describe it has an awareness of hand weight and using it to your own benefit while keeping the arm very still, no jerky movement there.
It worked for me, could do it pretty fast before my muscular issue that has been bugging me for the last two months... maybe it was too much octane for me and I broke something inside. ''
