Hi,Hello,Namaste

Hello Friends/Teachers/Forum Members

I was looking to learn a Rasgueo because i saw someone play it beautifully in a guitar store when i was working in 2008 been playing guitar since then off and on in 2015 i saw ruben diaz's videos on youtube and i thought that i can learn to play as well i am 28 years old from India Bombay, right now i am starting 3 finger picardo on 120 bpm 3 notes (a beginner) i also use gulliermo rios's method which again i found on youtube . Looking to meet like minded people , friends and teachers out here any advice or help in learning would be deeply appreciated .
Apart from that i am a normal guy who's trying to take care of parents and get a job and education i have time till november for it and hopefully will be able to achieve it , why i try to play flamenco it is because it gives me good company when i am alone , the music sounds amazing , the teachers are amazing, the people are amazing and i cant believe my luck and i am here
Thank You for letting me in .

Welcome to the foro!

120 bpm triplets can be either beginner or expert depending on how well you actually play them ;-)
At the risk of coming off as the Manuel Granados junky of the forum, I always recommend his material for technical exercices. Here's the link with a few free downloads of his stuff:

See you in the threads!
