It's a really interesting occurrence. I have a huge smile on my face and I laughed on a few occasions as I was watching the video. It's not necessarily funny or humorous in any way but he does it so effortlessly that it's very amusing and entertaining, as well as frankly impressive. You know you're a great player if someone can't help but let out a laugh when they watch you. Ironically, this can also be a sign you're a terrible player.
why is this the first time I'm hearing that it's not necessary to close the fist at the commencement of a new rasgueado? I've been practicing it that way for years, unable to get rid of that slight unevenness in the timing
He is absolutely right. I was taught to rasgueado with a clenched fist. Result - it caused trigger finger injury to my a finger, requiring surgery. Consequently I haven’t been able to play except with a pick for about 6 years.
@carrollman12 I'm about to learning this technique right now, hope you developed your pinky's speed because as you were I honestly can't strum with the pinky
nah there so many rasgueados that not having that finger is not a major issue. any other finger would be harder to work around but there's nothing vital that involves that finger and does not have an alternative
Yeah, looks like F into C, then back to F, add a D note then an F note (3rd fret B 1st fret high E) then into an E major. A lot of Flamenco seems to use this sort of progression. I'm no expert but the F C F E and A minor G F E seem to be the mainstays
look up pepe romero ragueado he does that one a lot better for just one little thing which is releasing the tension of your finger so it comes back by itself
That is probably one of the most difficult, and personally...my least favorite. It's used mostly for baile and accompaniment, but even then, I don't really use it.
