This is about the Rasgueo right hand techniques, that are very useful to create atmospheres on chords for any style can be used, not only for Spanish music & flamenco, but in songs or pop style ,Jazz classic guitar players can use this techniques for certain passages on Spanish repertoire like “Aranjuez” etc, even pick players can use it.

(The first minute I play a bit of “Solea”, just to show how this rasgueos are used in traditional flamenco guitar genres)
After that

On minute 1:00 rasgueo is:
ch,down (ch = pinkie finger, or little finger)
A,down (A = ring finger)
M,down (M = middle finger)
I,down (I = index finger)
I,up

On minute 2:00 rasgueo is:

A,down
I,down
I,up

On minute 2:54 rasgueo is :

P,up (P = thumb)
A,down
P,down

Its advisable to first practice on the low 4 strings (6th,5th,4th,3 th )
first muted, and then after with chords.


Ok my friends
Enjoy!

Ruben Diaz.

Flamenco/Jazz guitar lessons Toronto intermediate (27) Lotus Feet by John McLaughlin

This lesson is for everyone including the lovers of the super guitar trio (Paco De Lucia, John McLaughlin, Larry Coryell)
This composition is a fantastic melody with just two chords
Em and C

The arpeggio & melody theme explanation is here

http://www.rdiaz.org/rdvideo114.html

and the sound track to practice our improvisation,(for example we can use G major scale (which is G Ionian mode and played over the chord Em becomes E Aeolian and over C major chord becomes C Lydian, so it works nicely G major scale for both chords, you just try and will see…)

I hope you enjoy with this music!

Be creative & have fun!

Welcome, Ruben.

I don't mean to offend, but I am wondering what you can tell us about your interest in Randy Rhoads?
