ami(i) ami(i)i+ golpe....you need the (i) upstroke to come out much stronger it's almost non existent. For the basic i stroke you don't have to move the entire hand so much and the downstrokes need to be moe dynamic....by that I mean you are playing dynamically flat and some downstrokes can be stronger, most others practically inaudible....in order to bring out the accents and groove (soniquete) properly. tempo wise you are doing fine.

Hi Ricardo thanks for your intel, i will definitely and did already think that my playing needs to be more dynamic, ill try dial speed down and focus on strength and dynamic and then getting it back up again . I was taught that the rasgeuos are always ment to be louder then than the usptrokes hence i purpously tried to make the upstrokes light instead of loud , though that was in a Tangos aspect, instead of Alegrias , can you shed some light on that?

Add : One more question , i've been taught to rest the thumb on the E String ( Flat as in the video ) and shoot the fingers down one by one basically have the fingers shoot out of the palm ,and the first joint of the thumb ( i think it's clear in the video ) , however i see many flamenco guitarists, and many videos that suggest that thumb goes inwards behind the E String and have IMA kind of hold on to the groove that's made and shoot from there, are both correct? Either or ? 1st one ? 2nd one? many thanks!



Ricardo -> RE: Help with Rasgueados please! (Jun. 18 2014 14:56:52)

both are correct but serve a different purpose sound wise.

As Ricardo said.

The technique of firing the fingers individually has become more fashionable in the last decade or two: if you listen to the old dudes, they mostly use the technique wherein the next fingers starts before the previous one has finished extending.

The latter technique is easier, since it doesn’t require so much independence of the fingers.
