(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!
