don't see any big difference yet Every rasgueado has some sort of benefit or reason, but mostly it is just fun to have different ways to make rhythms, like the millions of sticking patterns for 16th notes and what not in drumming. Like why do paradidldels when I can just straight stick every rhythm??? Anyway, for me a i p is more versital than some other tresillos in the sense that you have more dynamic range. For example in Verdiales, you can do the heavy beat and the tresillos without the tresillos being too loud. I save up p-am-p or whatever Morote combo for louder triplets. You cant really use that technique and have nice speedy triplets that are dynamically soft enough the way you need. Also, you have to wip the wrist really hard and wide when doing marote so you don't have the same easy at shifting. a-i-p keeps your hand and arm in a position to move a bit faster to some other position. Also, you can hit all 6 strings or only a couple strings with a-i-p, where as it is harder to target a specific range of string with Marote. Usually you are going for volume and all 6(or min 5 if you mute the 6th) with Marote. a-i-i has similar benefits. I can do it pretty loud and do it instead of Marote in a lot of cases. Again, you focus on the treble strings say, you don't try to hit all 5 or 6 strings of a chord with a-i-i. So all these techniques have a specific use or benefit to me. In general I think of saving the Marote for louder dynamics, and faster rhythms. I will do p-am-p, or even p-iam-p with all 3 fingers hitting the strings as one for even more volume. And finally the loudest is to just go down and up real fast with the whole hand. Also I might to 16th or 32nd note groups of 4 or 8 using Marote techniques, because they go fast and loud. The other finger techniques for triplets, iia, pai, etc are easier to do at slower speed if I need. Marote is not fun to do slower, at least for me. Ricardo
