Dudnote -> RE: c-a-m-i rasgueado (Dec. 23 2015 19:58:19)

I mean the whole technique is done differently to the "normal" rasgueado. It isn't played with individual and separated strokes like the punchy a-m-i rasgueado. Most of the players don't use it nowadays, it's kind of a oldschool technique but very effective. Paco de Lucia used it a lot especially por soleá.
The main difference is in the down strokes. The fingers are not being shot out one by one in a finish-one-start-the-next sort of way. Instead, the fingers are being fanned out across the strings so that each finger starts hitting strings before the one prior to it finishes. The effect is of a more continuous wall of noise instead of the more percussive or "punchy" effect you are describing which seemed to become the more fashionable approach from the 1980s onward.
A variation on this is to replace the i up stroke with a p upstroke - this is most effective in the libre palos.

I remember you dudnote asking what kind of rasgueado uses the player at 3:36 in that video:
What was surprising in that video was his finger order. As far as I can tell (using YouTubes slow down feature) is that he goes i(down)-m(down)-a(down)-i(up) - which is something of a mirror image of what most players do. The fact that he reverses his finger order means his hand has to be much more stable than Paco Pena's who is making up and down motions with his entire forearm so that there is an element of all his fingers, hand and forearm moving together on the down strokes. Keep an eye on Paco's knuckles when he shows the slow version - they distinctly move across the strings which reduces the amount of finger flicking that must be done.
Hope that helps.
