are you drunk again ron? hi nigsy, rasqueado takes quite while to build up the speed properly. dont expect them to sound like a cd in a couple of weeks, the main thing is to do them evenly. Dont rush them and try do them too fast too early, because they wont be even and they wont sound good. and welcome to the foro, you will find plenty of resourses here to help you on your way.

Hey, Nigsy. Those five-stroke rasgeados are definitely tricky, and they do take a lot of practice to get right. For me the problem stems from the fact that it’s difficult to get, say two five-strokes rasgeados and one down-up stroke over three beats of a solea compas (as found in Keys to Flamenco) to fit in in a rhythmically balanced, even way. The easiest solution for now would be to replace the five-stroke rasgeados with four-stroke (amii). So, you’d be doing two four-stroke rasgeados and one down-up stroke in that little bit of solea. For me it’s MUCH easier to fit that in rhythmically. As for getting the five-strokes right, I think you just gotta practice ‘em a million times, over and over. The one piece of advice I’d offer is that you definitely shouldn’t just try to mimic what you hear on the cd at full speed. I tried this and in the end I was basically just faking it. Slow way down, use the metronome, and work on getting each five-stroke rasgeado to fit evenly into a single beat, and only start speeding up once you feel like you have full control over each and every stroke. Good luck. Adam

are you drunk again ron? Well, I would be if I could afford it these days Dominic. Nah Dom, I was just trying to keep up with the times and trying to learn SeofLundin KewlSpeek. Obviously, being from Scotland, I have a problem with the accent, but Ewan McGregor and David Tennant have made a decently fair go of it. The main problem I have is with the posture and gesturing, which perhaps Stu (Manzman) could help me with, since he's involved in the acting business in London and must observe this daily. Stu....I can get the relaxed but aggressive stance, but the problem I'm having is with co-ordination between maintaining those random upper torso jerks and minor convulsions and speaking at the same time. I also see that the "street professionals" keep their right arm about shoulder height but relaxed, with the hand either making "slicing" gestures or "jabbing" with the middle finger extended specifically when underlining a point. Is this correct? Anyway.... Innit, Ronzy
