Flamenco guitar lessons Toronto beginners (25)“Rasgueos”

Post by rubendiaz »

This is about the Rasgueo right hand techniques, that are very useful to create atmospheres on chords for any style can be used, not only for Spanish music & flamenco, but in songs or pop style ,Jazz classic guitar players can use this techniques for certain passages on Spanish repertoire like “Aranjuez” etc, even pick players can use it.

(The first minute I play a bit of “Solea”, just to show how this rasgueos are used in traditional flamenco guitar genres)
After that

On minute 1:00 rasgueo is:
ch,down (ch = pinkie finger, or little finger)
A,down (A = ring finger)
M,down (M = middle finger)
I,down (I = index finger)
I,up

On minute 2:00 rasgueo is:

A,down
I,down
I,up

On minute 2:54 rasgueo is :

P,up (P = thumb)
A,down
P,down

Its advisable to first practice on the low 4 strings (6th,5th,4th,3 th )
first muted, and then after with chords.


Ok my friends
Enjoy!

Interesting design for the Marcelo Barbero 1946 model. The cleats that hold the two different woods on the back is something i have not seen before.

Even those who might not have been familiar or interested in Flamenco before you started are surely taken with your fine performances Ruben. There is nothing greater than teaching others, especially when it comes to music and you have mastered your craft.
Life, as with music, often requires one to let go of the melody and listen to the rhythm
