Doing a little start/stop on the video, it looks like i and m both hit the strings, but I don't see a doing anything but wiggling. If a is hitting the strings, I haven't caught a frame where it does during the few seconds I've played with the video. Can anyone else see a hitting the strings?
The first short rasqueado finishes with a p upstroke.
I mean this is obviously all very messy and he's clearly a...beginner? But the one at :42 sounds pretty clean to me and it's hella fast. I am confused.
im not confused, I have seen classical guitarists do this TYPE of rasguedo, he seems to be a beginner to flamenco coming in with a classical guitar background or was very into that part of classical guitar and thought he could play tarantas

Definitely not a classical guitarist. Notice how he plays the lines with the thumb. A conservatory trained player would do those with i-m.
Regardless of his background, he's got a real nice feel. He makes it sound like a real tune rather then a JM study.
