hey, this is a link that website that explains how to play different flamanco techniques.. Its pretty good.. I may be mistaken but I think it helps to have a nylon string guitar for flamanco.

well, i mean, i want to learn flamenco strumming, but not necessarily for use in playing flamenco, you know? like...i really don't know what to compare it to, but my last post was worded properly. it should have said "i'm more interested in learning HOW to strum, than learning what to strum." if that makes any sense at all...

no it doesn't make sense, how do you plan on learning a technique if you don't learn some basic repetiore? that would be like a guitar player saying, "hey i want to learn violin technique, but i don't actually want to pick up a violin"JazzBassist114 wrote:well, i mean, i want to learn flamenco strumming, but not necessarily for use in playing flamenco, you know? like...i really don't know what to compare it to, but my last post was worded properly. it should have said "i'm more interested in learning HOW to strum, than learning what to strum." if that makes any sense at all...
techniques are inherently associated with a style or styles. how can you possibly learn flamenco strumming without learning any flamenco?

The most common flamenco technique is the rasquedo. Basically you strum downward with your pinky first and then your ring, middle, index, and thumb follow shortly thereafter. The rhythm is very similar to tapping your fingers on a desk.
I use a modified version of this pretty regularly but I wouldn't equate it to flamenco playing. To use it in that setting would require a much more extensive knowledge of Latin rythtms. If you really want to get into that sound it's a good place to start though.

okay, my buddy is a music major and is quite knowledgable about music...like yourself , and keeps telling me how kyrie Eleison (i think it is gregorain or baroque) is one of the best "composed" pieces of music because of the timing. Do you know what he's talking about, and could you put it in "layman's terms"

the Kyrie is a song used in Catholic services during the advent season. the way i've been playing it for years has not been in traditional gregorian chant style. its just like any other Catholic hymn in 3/4. nothing special about the timingForteewon wrote:okay, my buddy is a music major and is quite knowledgable about music...like yourself , and keeps telling me how kyrie Eleison (i think it is gregorain or baroque) is one of the best "composed" pieces of music because of the timing.

but it may actually be originated from gregorian chant, which is why your friend may be talking about the timing. traditional gregorian chants do not have a time signature, everyone takes cues off of the cantor (vocal leader). so this may be why he thinks the timing is such hot shit.
