rickm -> remate "flick" (Jun. 10 2004 23:44:36)

my teacher does a little flick on the g,b,e strings in the remate, he plants first and then flicks them g, b and e, like a tremelo pattern, the sound is seperate yet very quick. (Like a ras) I have practiced this and cant seem to get it, if someone knows what I'm talking about, and has an idea of how to better effect this pls forward. thanks.

Plant them, and practice it slowly. Make sure you get ahold of the string. Do this every day for a few months!

As Mike says, the key to playing a broken chord, or arpegiato, is to place your fingers on the strings first (plant them). You need to dig in slightly to get good tone/volume and lift them off in a plucking motion one by one.

Practice it slowly at first to get a loud clean sound on each string, then just try rippling through in one motion. eg playing the G, B and top E.
Try turning your wrist outwards slightly at the thumb as you play it - it helps to put a little forearm rotation into the movement.

Note: it is much easier to play an ascending arpegiato, as decsribed above.
Howveer, if you are trying to play a decending (E, B, G) one then its better not to plant al fingers at once, but to plant them one at a time. This takes a little more practice to get up to speed.

Jon
