Instructions
Remember...slowly, patience. Try to find the sound rather than speed. Tttack the bass strings and play them with differents chords as A, F etc
Play 4 finger "rasgueo" at the end and really sofly, not percussive as 3 finger rasgueado.
Tangos: 2 bars of 4/4 with 8/4 phrases.
Instructions for "Picado" Techique
1 Place the right hand in the proper position with the fingers perpendicular to the guitar's sounding board. Extend the fingers and use the thumb to balance the hand.
2 Begin by alternating between the middle and index fingers with smooth, silky movements. Imagine the two fingers are in a dance and each step is a note.
3 Slide the flesh of the fingertip along the strings on the rest stroke. The resulting sound is one of the distinguishing characteristics of the picado technique.
4 Pluck with the nail. The flamenco guitar player's fingernails are used as finger picks.
5 Rest the finger on the next string to be played. Positioning the fingers in the blink of an eye is a prerequisite for any guitar playing style, but it is especially important in the energetic flamenco picado playing style.
