(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.

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.

Ruben,

Now that is some fantastic jazz music on the youtube track you posted of your ensemble playing live. I loved it. The musicianship is simply amazing.

I am listening to 3 de Junio (Alegrias) right now!

Masterful, Ruben!

Ever played any surf?

Gosh, this music really sends me. I could listen all day. Thank you, Ruben!

Thanks infinitely for your kindness,you are the real lovers of guitar,and thats what gives meaning to what I am trying to do!
your hearts,very open minded and cultured poeple you are!
thanks again!
Ruben.

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.

Thanks maestro Peter

What you said is true,teaching is also joyful for oneself and very dynamic activity,I like sharing and just for the joy of it!

thanks for your wisdom and love for Spanish guitar.

your friend

Ruben
