ORIGINAL: Piwin quote:
My instructor told me that when those guys play Rasgueados, every stroke needs a downward stroke with your hand I think this was the sentence that is kind of hard to understand. If it just means clearly separating each stroke of the rasgueado (instead of just one sloppy "wave") then yes, that's the way to do it. Practice it by going slow. You can play around with a metronome to change what finger is playing the strong beat. For instance, if you use the amii rasgueado but playing as triplets and make sure that the strong beat sticks out, then you'll be putting the emphasis on each finger. so A m i / I a m / I i a / M i i and repeat. If you just play it regularly as you would in seguiryas than the strong beat is always on the A finger so you're not practicing emphasizing the other fingers. Anyways, it's a good exercice I think. And you can do this with any other kind of rasgueado. The idea is just to play the rasgueado pattern in a way where you don't go full circle every beat. That way the beat always fall on a different finger. Oh and rasgueado practice can be rough on the hand, so don't start with that. Make sure you're already warmed up when you do it. As far as the pinky goes, it's pretty much the same thing. Just have to practice it slow and clearly separate each finger. If it can reassure you, some great players don't use the pinky at all (Gerardo Nunez). Thanks yeah that has pretty much been my life story for the past month or so.. Then comes the art of putting the accents in the right place so the volume raises from the a to the i .. Thanks for the advice though seems like I just have to age 2 more years until the speed gets itself up there :) I do use the pinky as well to help me play without a lag.. I'm still weak at playing with no pause between the i and the a, the pinky seems to get rid of that gap but I want to master the 3 finger rasgueado. Thanks for the advice though
