Ramon Amira -> RE: How common is this rasgueo ? (Dec. 8 2012 18:29:38)

I teach my students that exact sextuplet – AMI all down, followed by I up, then AM down. It is followed with I down right on the next beat, where you have an accented beat on the next beat. In some palos at a slower tempo, say Soleares, if you do a four stroke to the beat rasgueado it’s too sparse. A six strokes to the beat rasgueado works better at a slower tempo. This sextuplet can be used continuously on consecutive beats as in the first two beats of a Soleares compas. In that case, the sextuplet on the second beat begins with I down, and then following the same sequence the sextuplet ends with I up. That works perfectly, because now I is ready to strike Down on the third beat of the first measure of the Soleares compas, which is an accented beat. The identical sequence is then used on 4-5-6. At a faster tempo you simply double the AMII, and get an eight strokes to the beat rasgueado. This also ends with I up, and so again I is ready to strike down on the next beat. Ramon
