I'd highly recommend John Rollins as well (He's currently completing a 13 course Burkholtzer for me). He makes beautiful lesser ornamented Voboam models in the 3-3.5k range from what I can recall. He doesn't have a website but you can send an email…
Thanks for the information, Monica. Glad you found my upside down right to left reading amusing =). I've been getting better at reading it normally. I just don't have that nice ability of being able to read and plan fingers a couple bars ahead. I su…
I think I had another message from you about stresses which doesn't show up. Yes the stress falls on the downstrokes - and as you have probably guessed by now these don't always occur where you might expect especially in triple time pieces - because…
Thank you for the tip, Rob. I ordered the book and should get it within a couple of weeks.
Dear Emil,
You should get hold of The Guitar and Its Music: From the Renaissance to the Classical Era by James Tyler and Paul Sparks, as it includes an overview of the various strumming practices.
Regarding my 'Strumming Tips' video - not to be ta…
Yeah I guess which type you learn to read first will make the other tougher. I actually had more success turning the music upside down and reading from right to left oddly enough. I guess it comes down to spending time learning to rewire my brain or…
I think Murcia mostly gives the basic up and down pattern but it is usually possible to work out the rest of it by comparing the strummed bits with the plucked bits. There are a few problems - when are there not!
I'm afraid I can't help much with u…
Thank you very much, Monica. That's the interpretation I guessed after going through some of Sanz' material, but it's great ot get some affirmation on it. Now to just improvise some creative rhythm. I'm guessing that all downstrokes are where the ac…
I don't know whether you realized this already, but the note values placed on the stave indicate both the duration of the notes and the directon of the strum. The only thing missing are the barlines. In the Jacaras all the note values are crotchets…
Very interesting! I'll try these patterns out and see which one "clicks" with me!
With the four fingered ones I end with the i upstroke. You can use the rasgueado as a quintuplet or allow that upstroke to start the next beat. The triplet p-m-p is definitely way faster are far more effortless for me though. That one I can figurati…
Very Interesting, Emil! I'll try that pattern out. When you use 4 fingers continuous rasgeo, do you go e-a-m-i or e-a-m-i -i (upstroke)? Or perhaps you get an even cont. rasg. with p-m-p triplets?
Hi Harry,
Yes, I studied quite a bit of flamenco actually so rasgueado patterns aren't much of an issue for me. Some patterns I do a little differently such as continuous triplets ( I go p m p instead of p e i or p a i) but it comes down to what cl…
On page 2 of Forum I had a question about the rasgueado section in Corbetta's Chaconne, and I got very useful information and comments from Monica Hall, another member of this forum, and an expert in this field. Her replies to me might also be of in…
Check Rasgueados are for everyone by Nitin Arora. (Available for free download somewhere on the net). It is not Baroque-guitar oriented, but it has quite a number of ideas.
