quote:
Anyway, the pattern i c a m, is one that Juan Serrano uses, I believe. It's pretty awkward for me, but he gets a great, great sound out if it. Yes, that is only one that Juan uses. It took me a few days to learn the various ways that Juan plays rasgueados, but then Juan was one of my teachers. Juan learned the i, s, a, m, i rasgueado from his father. Remember that Juan has accompanied some of the most famous dancers and singers in the history of flamenco. He will use a rasgueado that complements the performer. His approach also has some very real advantages compared to other rasgueado forms. For those that are interested I have a document called "101 Rasgueados", available from my web site. The "correct" rasgueado to use is the one that complements what you are playing.
