quote:
ORIGINAL: tateharmann I figured I would post a question here rather than start a new topic since it's very related. Would there be anything wrong with doing an imi triplet rasgueo instead of iai? It just feels more natural to me. It also makes me wonder what the advantage of iai is...or was just an evolution from iami to iai like Ricardo mentions?.. And I am speaking specifically of tangos, although I imagine this rasgueo would be useful in other palos too. THere is a reason actually. When doing the strum on say a Bb chord, you typically bend your thumb and flick the i finger toward the basses. The resultant sound is the i up stroke gets the trebles, the a finger because it hangs down further from the i or m finger hits the middle strings like 432, and kind of softer too, and the i down hits the Bass notes....you get a "Chuck-ah-Boom, chuck-ah-boom" etc, sound, a very nice gallop. You can go for the same thing with m instead, but because the finger is long and up close the i, it makes more of the bass sound too. Chuck-boom boom, chuck boom boom....at least when I do it there is a difference.
