Ivan Milenkovic22nd November 2008Essential technique Sergio, great job mate
Sergio Dorado22nd November 2008Thanks! Really, if you are interested in flamenco music you must practise this kind of exercises- In other words, is impossible to play flamenco without good strumming technique.
Gerardo Siere22nd November 2008Hey I should do that, another side efect of practicing rasgeados i that you develop speed, this is cause it is easier to close the hand than to open, with rasgeados you strech your finger.
Gerardo Siere22nd November 2008Ah me olvide de una pregunta y la pongo en español, como se "traba" el meñique para que junte fuerza antes de rasguear.
I forgot to ask something, how do we "lock" the meñique so it gains strenght before we play.
Bogdan Radovic22nd November 2008Excellent approach Sergio! ![]()

I put all the four fingers (little, ring, middle and index) resting on thumb., making a barrier. This way each finger plays with strenght.
El pulgar es el dedo desde el que deben salir los otros cuatro, formando una especie de barrera para que salgan con más fuerza; como cuando tiramos un papel o una canica. Hay gente que no puede coger los cuatro dedos con el pulgar, pero inténtalo estrechándolos un poco.
Sergio Dorado22nd November 2008The key is to bend the thumb for make this barrier. You can see it in the last angle of videos.
La clave está en doblar en pulgar para formar esa barrera; no hay que poner el pulgar recto. Puedes verlo mejor en el último ángulo de los videos.
Jose Mena22nd November 2008Man, this will probably help me, I tried one of your Rasgueo lessons before, and could not manage to do it right, My right hand without a pick is very sloppy. I have little control over timing specially when using the using the thumb to hold the other fingers before I let them go down. Or is this not what you are supposed to do?
Sergio Dorado22nd November 2008This was a great idea for a lesson! I attempted your Rasgueo lessons a few days ago, but I couldn't get the technique right (I just got an acoustic). Your timing with this lesson "es muy perfecto." ![]()

Strumming guitar is a thing that exists in all kinds of styles that have a guitar, because it is an effective way to keep in time and to mark the harmony context. But it's in flamenco music where strumming reaches the highest level.
