In this video I’m introducing ALL 9 flamenco strumming techniques, or “Rasgueados.” These are the nine basic rasgueados used in all of flamenco guitar as well as some classical guitar and Latin-American guitar. Anything else is just a variation or a combination of these nine rasgueado techniques.
The rasgueados we’ll look at today are the following:
1) P
2) P-AM
3) P-AM-P
4) P-C-I
5) I
6) I-A-I
7) AMII
8) CAMII
9) CAMIP
There is a short demo at the top of the video where you can see each technique (played over a flamenco tangos rhythm) and then I do a short explanation of each one. This video is only meant as an introductory video. I will be making a detailed “Rasgueado Technique Video Series“ covering each one of these techniques so please remember to subscribe if you would like to learn more about rasgueados.
