Rasgueado Techniques for Flamenco Guitar

Video Transcript

"Hi I'm Mario Amaya and on behalf of Expert Village in this segment I'm going to talk about some miscellaneous Rasgueado techniques. Well I mention to you in a previous segment that the fan or avinico Rasgueado is done a certain way but there is another way to do it using the thumb and middle finger. It is done kind of like this(playing guitar). What I'm doing I'm going up with the thumb, down with the middle finger, and then down with the thumb. In some other miscellaneous Rasgueados use the thumb in combination with the other fingers for example 4 finger Rasgueado using the 4 fingers followed with a down stroke with the thumb. Or it could be a up stroke with the thumb followed by what I just showed you the 4 fingers and then the thumb going down and that could be used for a continuous roll. I just what to add that there as many variations of Rasgueado as there is guitarist practically so there is many possible ways to do it. Please see the next segment where I will talk about the use of the Golpe in the use of guitar playing."
