no. Abanico type rasgueados can make use of all 6 strings (wrist action) but finger rasguedos are more colorful BECAUSE they target smaller groups of strings. For example with thumb bent you are actually snapping into the bass strings specifically (A and D strings mainly plus 3rd and 2nd are touched) and i up catches only top 2 or three strings for brightness. With thumb straight you can actually skip over the bass string and get mainly 4 3 2 1 strings down and only 1,2,3 up for a brighter overall sound.... When doing i a i a finger catches mainly mids like 4th 3rd and 2 strings, i up gets bright sound 1,2,3 strings, then flicking i down only gets basses 5,4 and a bit of 3. so you get an overall round sound when going fast.
