The wrist motion is twisting using a “broken” or bent wrist position: supination downstroke, pronation upstroke. As opposed to sideways wrist motion as in up and down alternate flat picking using a flat wrist position.

(Pronation: Hold you hand with the palm inward, parallel to your belly.. Rotate the upper arm so the thumb goes closer to your belly. That's pronation, supination is the other way.

My little trick is to think of supination being the one where you rotate your forearm so that one can pour 'soup' in the palm [:D] Sort of a homophone-based memory aid.

I should have written “forearm,” not “upper arm.”

Antonio says at the end of the series that he doesn’t play with the dedos anymore and just uses a pick because it’s so much easier. Oh well

I think the other way around - supination is upstroke. Can't pour soup into your palm after a downstroke [:D]

Good point about the wrist - however the forearm rotation along the long axis is still the same in both straight wrist and wrist at some constant angle relative to forearm, I think.

Yes I got it backwards because you meant to say supination is to RECEIVE soup in your hand from another person POURING it who was using pronation.

Gracias Ricardo for the Fandangos lesson video. I used it this morning for a Fandangos revision with my Jerez prof Moises. It led to trying various rasgueos. And incorporating the iras3 (pronounced e-ras as in spanish) as named by me, as opposed to ras3i, in Tangos and Sevillanas. Very useful . [:D]

The ires3 for sure gives a different feel. Sadly I now have a sevillanas to perfect by next thursday with my new rasgueo [8|]

And thanks of course to Ramzi for posting it.

Anyone else signed up and have some thoughts? Have transcriptions been made available on the lessons now?

I might have another look at this now that Ricardo is on board. I signed up for a month when they first started but I found the lessons were too basic apart from the Antonio Rey pieces which were too difficult. The technique lessons from Antonio were good though.

Great interview.

So how much was that Hauser worth?
