RE: What pieces or toques are you wo... (in reply to John O.) 
I just started learning/fooling around with a basic rumba stroke a couple of weeks ago, just the standard thumb down/up, apagado, index up/down/up. Never really had any interest it rumba at all, but I’m finding this to be surprisingly fun to play, and I like that that basic strum can be applied to several different chord progressions.

That strum is pretty easy overall, but it can also be a bit tricky to get the proper feel/foot-tap/right-hand-thing going and keep it going. I’ll start playing and get the right swing going, but then I’ll lose it just as suddenly, for no other reason than that I guess it’s just an odd little bit of syncopation to get used to…

Difficult thing for me is doing the covers exactly like on the album


Well,... Rio Ancho is from Paco. And in his older pieces is always one damn fat long scale which makes 90% of other guitarists unable to copy the pieces 100%. But, its also nice, if you don't copy 100% no?

Everything has to be learnt at some point no matter how easy. The basic rumba strum I got down quite fast, but the one for the slower rumbas took me a bit longer. I heard there are supposedly over 100 different ways to strum a rumba

Doit, you're right. All the others I just get the basic idea of the solo and do it approximate. Rio Ancho really has such great themes to it though, I really wanted to get it all. And besides one fast picado it's all doable...

What I mean with "covering from the album": when you get used to accompanying you memorize less and less, with rumba and covers you really have to memorize the length of the verses, where and how long the solo comes, the bridges, breaks and so on...
