Is this correct? It seems to me it would be much easier to play an upstroke on the second half of beat 2 followed by a downstroke on 3 with a golpe.
What do you guys think? Should I be trying to do these all as downstrokes or does it matter that much?
Anyway, thanks for your help.
That (what was written as you describe) sounds fine to me. The reason for consecutive down strokes is to hit more of the bass strings and get a snap and buzz attack. Verses up strokes which are bright and treble sounding. I really matters HOW exactly you attack with the index strokes. Listen to recordings and copy those details if you can.
The thing you might notice different than you describe, but common, would be instead of cami, you might have amii with i up on the next beat, rather than i down. Then you do your downstrokes, but rather than repeat, alternate m i. But the important thing is the sound. Just alternate i strokes, down and up have a certain sound that down strokes don't. Tientos is slow, but you will even find consecutive downstrokes in bulerias, so get used to em.
