An EASY Idea for Making Your Spanish Guitar Techniques EVEN

The right hand guitar techniques for nylon string (Spanish guitar, classical, flamenco) are hard enough, but once we learn them it's very easy to accidentally get lopsided and not be rhythmically or dynamically consistent. The simple practice idea in this lesson can help us even out our right hand techniques so that they are more consistent, powerful and uniform. In this guitar tutorial, I talk about different techniques like picado and tremolo and the 4-stroke rasgueo but principally the ever-elusive TRIPLET RASGUEO - and a way that we can practice this using the cycle of 4ths progression and a modified Soleá por Bulerías rhythm.

Picado and Tremolo

Before we even begin with rasgueo, let's think about how we normally approach picado and tremolo phrases and think about them as triplets:

Applying this Idea to Rasgueo Technique

You can use this idea to smooth out just about any rasgueo technique you can think of:

In the following guitar tutorial, I expand on these great practice ideas and offer a way that we can practice this using the cycle of 4ths progression and a modified Soleá por Bulerías rhythm.
