i think you should make your own up depending on your neads. and depending on what works for you

I dont understand

I have a lot of different rasgeados and which i use depends on how loud i want it, but I would recommend aiming for control and power in a few over having a lot of different weak ones.

I am talking about addin to your repertoire and getting that attack.

Yes, i dont see why not. The more personal the better i would think when it comes to rasgeados.

Pepe Habichuela has a few that sounds great.

RE: rasgueado (in reply to Guest)

I've got that book, The Art of Rasgueado. The author did a lot of research for it and in his forward or preface he talks about how most of the various rasgeo came about out of necessity.

His advice is more or less to try as many as you like out and do what works best for you.

What's more important, following a form or getting the sound you want?

But do you give up if you can't get it or keep trying?

My experience is that sometimes its better to leave difficult tecnical parts and then pick them up again a month or so later. This way you stay "fresh" in your mind. patience is the word.

Besides, a lot of things in flamenco has to do with muscle power and it takes time to build it up.

RE: rasgueado (in reply to Guest)

I look at these technique things as little pieces, little building blocks that you can put together as you please, with taste. I don't see a need to learn a complete pattern, but it should not be a problem assuming you can do the little "building blocks".

I abandoned the return stroke for A and M long ago, because I did not see any of my favorite players doing it, and it has a certain sound. Of course I understand how to do it, and it is not "wrong" to do it. Application is personal. It is just for me, I like a certain sound, and if I can achieve it doing my "own thing" great, but in general, I have found imitating my favorite players is getting better results as far as the sound I want. In the end it is personal. But you can see how the "psuedo" flamenco guys have done doing their "own thing".
