Essential Techniques flamenco

 

Rasgueado (Strumming):

• A key flamenco strumming technique for dynamic rhythms. Practice finger flicking and rolling across the strings for smooth, percussive sounds.

Picado (Fast Single Notes):

• Develop fast, clean runs by alternating i (index) and m (middle) fingers.

Arpeggios:

• Play broken chords smoothly with a rhythmic feel, using thumb (p), index (i), middle (m), and ring (a) fingers.

Golpe (Tapping):

• Use your fingers to tap the body of the guitar near the soundhole for percussive accents.

Tremolo:

• Play a rapid succession of notes with a-m-i-i and a bass note with p. Flamenco tremolo often uses a five-note pattern instead of classical four.

Alzapúa:

• A thumb-based technique combining strumming and single-note plucking for rhythmic basslines.

Compás (Rhythm):

• Master the intricate, syncopated flamenco rhythms. Use a metronome or practice with palmas.
