ras help again

In order to clarify a previous question i posted regarding rasquedo, I am posting a link to a website that has various tabs. I have tried opening the particular song and copying and pasting, but for some reason the tabledit software doesnt allow that. If someone is ambitious enough, go to the Anthony solera "solea" open it and you will see the song starts with two similar chords marked with a "r" which I guess means rasquedo. Later in bar 30 there several chords written simultaneously connected with a bar, which I again assume to be a ras, or at least strummed quickly togethor. If someone is familar with this and can follow what I mean, pls forward you ideas thanks.

Those look like 5 stroke rasgeos e.g. p-a-m-i-i/p-a-m-i-i/i-i
Not exactly sure on the R though, it appears to be inconsistent.

Anyone else?

Simom is Right, you also can play it this way!

x-a-m-i-i/x-a-m-i-i/i-i (x = little finger)

x-down..........a-down.........m-down..........i-down..........i-up
x-down..........a-down.........m-down..........i-down..........i-up
i-down...........i-up

The "R" in the beginning stands for thumbstroke, do it not to fast.

Good luck with it

Peter.

RE: ras help again (in reply to Escribano)

the attachment didnt come through, but thats ok, I get it now, the r is for a thumbstroke down, and the other is for a 5 stroke ras with index, I suppose one could use the thumb up, as long as it doesnt continue into another series of chords or notes, ok thanks guyys I appreciate it. I had guessed that sort of but the designation of the "r" threw me into thinking it might be another way of writing a rasquedo. I guess in a way it is but only a single strum thanks!!!!

If it's what Peter means, it's a single, downwards thumbstroke letting each note sound a little i.e. a slow strum. Usually depicted as a wavy downward arrow not R.
