It is a tough one to get at first until it just "clicks". It is a coordination thing, and timing. I takes some practice. One trick I use for students not getting he i stroke with golpe, is to strum up and down constant, like say 16th notes. taka taka etc. On the beat, replace the first stoke down with jUST the a golpe. So you have TAP-a-ta-ka, TAP-a-ta-ka, etc. Golpe, up down up, golpe up down up. Well do that continuous for a long time, really evenly. While doing it LOOK at your index finger, and notice how it SWEEPS across and OVER the strings when you tap, so it is prepared for the next up stroke. Well, it is just a mental thing, but if you can just simply let your index touch the string on its way down, then you have got it! Ricardo
