Hi Victor,
I had a closer look at the JM solea por buleria. I guess your question is about bar 5 (and bars 9 and 13 where we have the same pattern). Here is my understanding...
Fisrt, if you have a look at bar 17, Juan plays a very standard strumming pattern on a Bb chord on the beat 1, 2 and 3 of the 12 beat solea compas. It goes:
Beat 1: e a m i i
e a m are all donwstrokes and the ii are down then upstroke.
You may want to tap on your foot on the beat: e stroke.
Beat 2: e a m i i
e a m are all donwstrokes and the ii are down then upstroke.
You may want to tap on your foot on the beat: e stroke.
Beat 3: i i
ii are down then upstroke.
You may want to tap on your foot on the beat: i downstroke with a golpe.
In the bar 5, the pattern is different. This a kind of a nice variation around the standard compas. Juan does not put the accent on beat 3 like it should be in the compas (accents on 3 6 8 10 12), but after it when your foot is up (do we say "on the counter beat" in English?).
To do that, Juan plays the two last i strokes with downstrokes only. The second one is accentuated or even with a golpe (bar 9).
So it goes:
Beat 1: e a m i i
e a m are all donwstrokes and the ii are down then upstroke.
You may want to tap on your foot on the beat: e stroke.
Beat 2: e a m i i
e a m are all donwstrokes and the ii are down then upstroke.
You may want to tap on your foot on the beat: e stroke.
Beat 3: i i
ii are both down strokes.
You may want to tap on your foot on the beat: first i downstroke. The second i downstroke is played stronger when the foot is up.
I hope this is clearer now. If not, let me know, I can play it slowly and upload a video.
Cheers,
Philippe
