Like Pimientito said, up stroke is "stronger" I would say "brighter" because you are pulling upwards at the treble strings first. The other way, eami down is much darker, or rather you can use that to snap the bass strings more. Try both ways. Probably, like the huge percentages of us discover that there actually IS a difference in sound, you will prefer to end with i up. Somtimes I start eami, but again end i up for the same reason, just I get to do a faster rasgueado with an extra note.[;)] Paco Cepero does i up FIRST then ami,i up to end.
Yeah, Paco does a lot of "tirando" or free stroke techniques, some are pretty tricky and you see I do slow versions of the ones I think are tuff. Like the next to last falseta that sounds like M. de Falla, he does what feels like normal up and down arpegio, but the notes become a scale run and feel like a tremolo to the right hand. Brilliant technique Idea, Nunez has capitalized on that and maybe even out done Paco with it at this point. But the mechanics are the same essentially. So many try to shift to picado there, breaking the smoothness, and that is the trick, to make it like a "tremolo". I rushed it because once you get it, it is easy to feel like you want to fly away with it. Controlling rhythm is always the goal with any technique, so I keep working.
Anymore questions as you progress, feel free. Don't forget, my way is not THE only way, and we all agree it is OK to make personal revisions for the sake of performing it. Henrik has a fabulous version, and does many things different than I do, and it is all good in the end.
