You will also eventually realize that you can do this technique much much faster then the one where you flick from thumb. Just keep in mind BOTH have their purpose. I recommend using the ami or eami in short bursts at first, rather then jumping in to long continuous rolls. Something like alegrias is good, just the first 2 beats then beat 7, that's all, do abanico on 10. See saw on 2 chords for a while with that pattern untill you notice it smoothing out. Later try to add it on over beats 4 and 5, and even 9. Then try to fill 7,8 and 9 stop on 10. At that point you are getting it to where you need for continuous rolls. When doing bulerias speed with this, try starting i up. So like beats 7,8,9, stop i up on 10. again start with i up and go iami,iami,iami,i. At that point you will be like "damn, I never thought I could go that fast" but you can. But you can't really do that flicking off the thumb. Ricardo
