Ricardo -> RE: Cool Rumba Strum (oops, forgot the link - here it is!) (Jan. 23 2007 7:03:32)

I teach it over at FT on video slow, if interested. I actually do one with an extra muted stroke too, but Wannabe was close to describing what this guy is doing. You missed and extra "p" golpe (3rd stroke), and the golpe with the fingers on the soundboard (5th stroke). So 8 strokes all together. I agree that this guy does the "real" rumba, just he misses the extra mute or you can't hear it on the vid, but the feel it correct.
So it is:
P down, with golpe fingers below the trebles.
P up (or fingers up is ok too)
P taps above the 6th string, sideways wrist flick.
P taps again as fingers strike down the strings hard, flick of the wrist again.
Fingers bridge the strings and golpe the sound board below the trebles.
Up with index or all fingers.
P tap above as fingers strike down (same as 4th stroke. Here is where the mute should be to be "real" gypsy)
index or fingers up.
For Wannabe, the one you linked is just slap, up down up. But the last up you get a golpe with back of thumb.
