The Secrets to Rasgueados | Flamenco Guitar Fundamentals with Kai Narezo

Excellent lesson

Quick anatomy experiment to clarify the “ring” and middle finger connection: Make a fist and lay it (fingers down) on a flat surface (table perhaps). Now, ONE finger at a time, extend the index first (still keeping fist tight to table) and lift it up and down from the surface. Bring it back to the fist and do the same with the pinky then pull it back and extend the middle, repeating the process. Finally, try it with the ring finger… hmmm.

I learned something right off. Excellent. Thanks.

What if I upstroke on M? I seem to have more power and percussion with Middle than Index on the upstroke that sound more like the flicks downward. My index gets a weaker sound that stands out.

What a joke doing that "tips" you never will be fast.

i use i,m,a...is that ok do you think?

You should put your unique teachings in context rather than teaching them to unwary students as gospel. Your bent thumb is non-traditional. Same with the tucked rasgueo--you downplayed how common it is to play rasgueo without tucking. Now I don't trust the rest of your information.

If you practice just what you saw in this video you´ll never be fast like he did. Notice that when one finger is stretched out the next one has to be bent and this requires exercises to educate the fingers to be able to flex naturally and at the right time sure this is work for many years. That guy didn't say because the secrets are paid for and he doesn't give them away for free

Thank you so much!

Good lesson

Looking forward to learning this on my 7-string classical, so I can anchor on the low 7th string and strum all 6 strings of a normal guitar.

Such great instruction

Such a good lesson, thanks Kai!

Do you know why the all down stroke style went out of fashion? I find the upstroke version dislodges the ‘continuous’ nature (by including the upstroke, hence never really sounding continuous).

And could you please tell a few words about the golpeador? Is there two sheets of it on the sound board? What would be your recommendations on how to mount it? I see, that's not the topic, so I'd understand ignoring😊
