apak -> three finger rasgueo timing question (Jun. 27 2010 22:54:40)
|
I am a beginner to flamenco and currently going through Graf-Martinez book.
My question is about Rasgueo timing. In one the practice exercises, he has the stroke pattern and rhythm as follows
3/4 time signature:
first beat: i-rasgueo rasgueo downstroke (1/8th note)
followed by a and m resgueo downstrokes (each 1/16th note)
second beat: the i-rasqueo downstroke (1/8th note) - this finishes the three finger rasqueo (a-m-i) that started between the first and second beat.
When I set the metronome to slower count, it is easy for me to make sure that each stroke is executed at the right time and each have the right duration
My concern is when I am playing at higher speeds. I can play along with his own recording, and my i-strokes all fall exactly on the right time. But I can't tell if my a and m are exactly on the right time or not.
at higher beat (above 70-80bpm) my ears cannot tell if my 3-finger rasgueo is strictly on time or not, but visually just looking at my fingers, it appears that the time interval between my a-finger and m-finger release is shorter than between the m-finger and i-finger- we are talking one note between slight less or more than 1/16th count.
So my question is how important is that? If I cannot hear the difference, and the accents sound like they are exactly at the right time, does it matter? Or would a more experienced player be able to tell the difference right away and recognize poor technique?
