Escribano -> Rasgueado, picado, tremelo timings? (Feb. 28 2012 19:31:09)

Would you say that rasgueados, picado and tremelo should be evenly spaced i.e. the same timing between each finger movement or stroke that makes contact with a string?

I am not talking about artistic interpretation, but rather for practise and building up strength etc.

My personal opinion: rasgueado, yes. Picado - sort of (because many people advocate varying up rhythm in the "same run" like ascending in 16ths and descending in 8ths for example). Tremolo - sort of (either you practice like Paco Pena where piami are equally spaced quintuplets, or you go like PdL where you have a bit more space between p and iami).

I suggest you practice both picado and TREMOLO (yes, tremolo) with staccato/prepared strokes.

Cheers!

I think it should, but you can practice it at different speeds if it us just for strenghtening.

I guess you can use it as a rythmical exercise at the same time?

I was made to practice like that alot and still do it, I am not sure though![:D]

Then I would also alternate between the techniques without leaving a space in beetween and things like that.



Ricardo -> RE: Rasgueado, picado, tremelo timings? (Feb. 28 2012 20:03:37)

Timing yes.... Dynamics no. Some people don't realize the difference or at least don't appreciate there is a difference and it is hard to control. All techniques need to be practiced evenly with some sort of rhythmic feel if you ever want to sound clean and controlled. Playing even does not mean you maintain a single dynamic....indeed with tight rhythmic playing with little space, most of the expression is done with dynamics of loud and soft and accents.

I like to do things like practice four stroke rasgueados with an accent on every fifth stroke. Picado, do triplets and accent the downbeat. etc. That has helped me build finger strength and independence.

Yes, definitely. After I made i up and a down movement evenly spaced, my amii rasgueado already started to sound like a machine gun. Not bad for someone who's been practicing it for about 3 months. Max. 2 minutes during my practice session and I don't practice everyday. The only problem is I can't keep it sounding like a machine gun more than 4 or so seconds. I think either I don't have enough stamina in my fingers or my fingers tense up after a few seconds.

We all know that moment when maestros strum E major chord just once and still make it sound amazing. Does anyone know how to make flamenco up strumming sound like there are 2 or more guitars playing arrastre? The same question for down strumming. I mean smooth and not so fast down strumming with a full and rich sound. I hope you got the idea.

Good of you to reply to a question from 8 years ago!?[:D]

Do you mean like the classic opening F#7 sus chord in Taranta? with the arpeggios with the arrastre on the end?

Perhaps you mean a 5 stroke ras with thumb downstroke on the end?

I couldn't find good examples. That's what I found. Most of the chords in this video. Unfortunately, the video doesn't show his right hand.



Some dude of the Eagles at 6:03. It's not a flamenco guitar technique though.

Probably, yes. Do you have video example on youtube?



Ricardo -> RE: Rasgueado, picado, tremelo timings? (Aug. 9 2020 18:21:04)

There’s about 4 various things going on. But they should be rather intuitive at your level, not mysterious. Start with dragging your thumb slow across all strings in both directions. Then try pppima down Arpegio and pull a finger alone back up. Next rasgueado slow and dirty pinky ami down, then follow through with thumb...that’s a couple tricks.

Is that what you mean? At 0:15. It looks like pima+pppima+arrastre.




Stu -> RE: Rasgueado, picado, tremelo timings? (Aug. 11 2020 13:26:19)

Can't speak for Ricardo. But that's what I meant yes!

But yeah looks like that's the thing

Thanks for the hint Taranta. Helped me to find this video example. It looks like Paco plays pimapppima + arrastre.



Stu -> RE: Rasgueado, picado, tremelo timings? (Aug. 11 2020 15:43:33)

Yeah could be. (Can't watch it just now)

There are variations on that theme. Some with pppmia then a up.
Sometimes plenty arpeggios then finishing with the a up.

I guess the most basic is pulgar down then A up. Anything extra in between is extra garnish
