I start off by copying the exact rhythm of the feet with arpeggios. Whether they are 6s,4s, triplets, or duples, I will try to copy exact with arps, while keeping that boring base line. If that goes on more than 4 compases, then you can simply improvise, again copying the same rhythms as the feet, over the chord progression. sort of question and answer you do a run or arp or whatever you want improvise 3 beats, answer it with the E chord. Then another that goes to B7 or F#minor if you prefer. ETc. That way you keep it interesting and rhythmic, and the dancer does not get confused. You can also switch into doing rasgueados that match the feet, at anytime. And sometimes that is good to do then go back to the normal escobilla melodies. That way you give it some dynamics.
