These are good for developing control of each finger

thank you for the ras-I am willing to try anything, but I do have a question, my assumption is that the "q" is the thumb? the first exercise then is straightforward thumb, ami, i, repeat, the second however asks a seperate question.
If you are going for a continous sound, the idea of q amii, qami,iami, and then leading with qlmii, qamiiamii is setting up a different rythm and is there a purpose for that rythym? I understand the exercise value, it is the rythmn that concerns me? thanks adn happy NY>

Rick;

The letter q may stand for the little finger.

If you want to try a few rasgueados go to my web site and look for 101 Rasgueados.

The system I was taught is this:

P = Pulgar = Thumb

I = Indice = Index

M = Medio = Middle Finger

A = Anular = Ring Finger

m = meñique = little finger

You will also find the little finger represented by many different letters, such as but not limited to c, and x.

tom that does make more sense then, and yes I have been to your site and availed myself of the rasquedo's, not saying I can play them all!!

Hi rick.
The q stands for the little finger.

Even though you can use these rasgueados for a continous sound this exercise
will help you control your rasgueado so that you can change finger after you allready begun the rasgueado.I did practice this so that i can do a rasgueado at any time starting with any finger and also change in the middle of the rasgueado.

Remember to do it slow. 50-80 bpm is a good start.
Henrik

now that I've played with it a little more, I have a better sense of that and yes it does seem very good for control. thank you
