quote:
I have figured out a couple variations for a single five beat - i up a down m down i down i up feels most natural to me.
But, I cannot figure out how to string multiple five beats together? How do you do it?
first, what do you mean by "beat"?? a five beat rasgeo, is that one that goes on for 5 beats of music or one that has five finger strokes (eg. xamii)?
if you mean 5 finger strokes per beat of music, you can just use the 4 finger xamii one for that.... you don't have to ditch the "old" version and exclusively adopt the "new" one, you add in the new and keep the old as well, that's my understanding of so-called "modern" flamenco anyway, it's not instead of so-called "old" flamenco, it's as well as!
if you really want to do 5 finger strokes per beat with 3 fingers you could do:
1 2 3 &
amiia miiam i i
where each pair of i strokes are down then up, use this for solea, repeat for beats 4, 5, 6 etc.
or you could do something like
1 2 3 4
amiia miiam iiami iamii
then you are back to the start of the pattern again
even if you don't actually use it like this (if i want to play 5 per beat i just use xamii) it's probably not a bad exercise to practise these
