quote:
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. 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...
