Getting that "thump" golpe

I am recently trying to get that darker, bassy "thump" sound in my golpe, but i find that, even though my nails are relatively short, i have a hard time doing a golpe without hitting the nail, and getting a bright tap. Is there a trick or something that im missing? When i say my nails are relatively short, i mean, they are just about even with my finger tip. Im wondering, those of you who can get a nice warm thump (Ricardo ) what are you doing to get the right angle, and is it something you had to work on, or could you do it immediatly? Do you think nail length has something to do with it, or is it strictly about angle? TK

Todd, maybe what you've gotta do is explore golpe. Instead of just attempting different sounds when you are called to do them, explore all of the sounds and rhythms, and techniques untill you feel like you really know as much as you're going to learn. Put everything aside and really get into it. Play golpe and start to really feel it, and start to know. And you can take rhythms from other players, and you can even improvise and invent your own. Play the guitar with passion, play and learn as it is an ongoing process that will take you thru the good and the bad, what ever it is you are going to learn. Take the time and use it well. Every time that I turn around I want to learn something that I see or hear, and that saturation and process is the only way. Learn, relearn, and invent. Gary
