Thanks guys, and gals. The whippets in fine fettle, he accompanies me on a siguiria. I have been trying to accompany a dance class with sevillianas, and keep going out of |Compas, but am determined to get to the bottom of it. They say you must start off with the melodic picado bit, so the dancers know where they are, rather than start with Rasgeuado, is this right. I have always played by feel, but with this I feel I must study it, its one of my least favourite toques, as it always sounds too stereotypical spanish. I have been told that it is counted in 3s, with the emphasis on 1, and chord changes on 2, but I find this method confusing. I think I will learn a Sabicas one, if I can find it, or if anyone has a mpeg of one. The tabledit versions are good, but the midi Rasgueados are a bit confusing. Its supposed to be an easy flamenco form to play, but I have always struggled with it. Thanks Dave
