A.) ami-i up, is a standard triplet where you flick out and end up stroke on the next beat for a bright sounding accent. The continuous triple of i a i, is similar to a continuous amii, but that is 4 notes per beat, so with m missing, you have a triplet. So, the reason for doing ami, iai, iai, etc, is because the ami is a strong "kick off" or spring board for the iai. It is correct, fun and powerful way to do the technique. You can also do 4 notes per beat in a similar way like xami,iami, iami, i again so the up stroke gets the beat, the pinky is the "kick off" pattern on the beat, so the beat shifts after the kick off, to the up stroke. Make sense? The other ones that have triplets but are just i a i, notice that they start on the CONTRA beat. That is important. YOu do a contra open string or up stroke, the kick off with a finger on the contra triplet.....a i, iai, iai, i. And of course there can be times you can start up with i too, but it is not as powerful as a "kick off" down strum be it ami OR the contra a i. B.) The i..mii i, is also ideal because there are golpes going on with the a finger that make using a for rasgueado uncomfortable. Plus you can "flick" m and i into the bass strings for that particular section. mii is a triplet rhythm usually. C) not sure of the specific section without measure numbers, but I would say exaggerate the pull-offs when practicing slow, make them percussive...they WILL come out ok. Flamenco guitar is very percussive, the notes die out fast. Percussive sounds always cut through held or ringing notes. Ricardo
