mark indigo -> RE: Trouble with Rasgueo (Oct. 24 2008 11:36:08)
|
i posted this in another thread about rasgeo, it follows on from what ron was saying about stressing different fingers, and is really useful for both developing rhythmic control AND developing the ability to fit rasgeos into any compas in different ways, ie. you can play 3, 4, 5, 6, 8 whatever strokes per beat in solea, tientos, alegrias, siguiriyas, solea por bulerias, etc., etc., etc., you can skip the emaii bit and go straight to amii if you want....
To practise eamii, use it to play a 6 stroke rajeo (all down strokes except for 2nd i upstroke - 5th group ends down, and 6th starts up);
1 2 3 4 5 6 2 2 3 4 5 6 3 2 3 4 5 6 4 2 3 4 5 6 5 2 3 4 5 6
e a m i i e , a m i i e a , m i i e a m , i i e a m i , i e a m i i ,
Each group begins with, and therefore is easy to stress, a different finger.
Another way of doing it is to do 4 strokes with eamii;
1 2 3 4 2 2 3 4 3 2 3 4 4 2 3 4 5 2 3 4
e a m i , i e a m , i i e a , m i i e , a m i i ,
this is as well as the basic 5 stroke eamii, and should help to even that out.
You can do the same thing with amii, play a 5 stroke with it;
1 2 3 4 5 2 2 3 4 5 3 2 3 4 5 4 2 3 4 5
a m i i a , m i i a m , i i a m i , i a m i i ,
and/or a 3 stroke;
1 2 3 2 2 3 3 2 3 4 2 3
a m i , i a m , i i a , m i i ,
as well as the basic four stroke amii and should help to even that out.
you gonna have to practise this for like years at a time, so you better try and make this a bit more interesting, and as the goal is to play music, try to put it into compas, get creative with it.
Solea, tweaked a bit, 3 beats on each chord, F (maj7), C, F (maj7), E ; and/or try A-, G, F, E
1 e + a , 2 e + a , 3 and, 4 e + a , 5 e + a , 6 and,
e a m i i e a m i i e a m i i e a m i i
7 e + a , 8 e + a , 9 and, 10 e + a , 11 e + a , 12 and,
e a m i i e a m i i e a m i i e a m i i
(Beats 3, 6, 9, and 12 are just down up on and off the beat)
You can do the same thing with amii, but you can do 5 strokes per beat and/or 6 strokes per beat. 5's;
1 2 3 & 4 5 6 & 7 8 9 & 10 11 12 &
amiia, miiam, i i, amiia, miiam, i i, amiia, miiam, i i, amiia, miiam, i i
And 6's - something like this is used by Manolo Sanlucar and Vicente Amigo etc. (for the first 6 beats anyway - it's an exercise, so don't worry about it! );
1 2 3 & 4 5 6 & 7 8 9 & 10 11 12 &
amiiam, iiamii, i i, amiiam, iiamii, i i, amiiam, iiamii, i i, amiiam, iiamii, i i
