Hey Bob, I'm so happy to see you participating on the foro. You are a great flamenco and superb teacher, and having you hear will only contribute positively to this environment, as your site has duly already shown. Olé! The reason I use "sweeps" is because there are two techniques included under that heading. They both allow you to play the same notes and achieve a similar effect, but each one is quite different from the other. I know about arrastre, but decided NOT to include it because if I were to have an "arrastre" heading, then I would still have to mention another heading which is "sweeps" considering that the pppimamimip technique would NOT fall under arrastre. Do you agree? Noodling does NOT fall under alzapua because to me, alzapua involves hitting a bass string with a down stroke of pulgar, then hitting one or more adjacent strings with another down stroke of pulgar, and THEN going up with the back of the pulgar nail. That is three motions. However, noodling involves only two motions on a single string - down with pulgar and up with back of pulgar nail. This is why it was considered separate. Do you agree? I consider rasgueados as two categories (those with pulgar, and those without pulgar) because Oscar Herrero does so in his Paso a Paso series (Volume I). And I just don't want to argue with Oscar (he is very tall, and I'm afraid he will just stomp me if I were to upset him). Do you concur? Cheers mi amigo! [;)]
