thank you very much , I've seen lots of tutorials for this technique . no one ever explain it as good as you
Mohsen Galal you are welcome and thank you for watching 😊
Even stoned the video is one of the best.
I've watched a bunch of rasgueado lessons and yours is by far the best I've found. I finally get it! Great teaching. Thank you so much.
It's very nice of you that you gave me a heart but the heart unfortunatelly doesn't answer the question
thanks a lot! This made my rasgueado instantly good. You showed greatly how the hand should rotate. Apparently it's still OK for knuckles to point downwards in the end of the strum, so the arm itself is what rotates. Also, great that you mentioned how we shouldn't practice slowly with separate clumsy strokes like they teach you sometimes, had been doing that and no wonder I didn't manage to make this smooth.
Excellent thank you
Very slick the villa lobos at the end!
WOW!!! I've been playing with flamenco for many years and have never head rasqueado broken down this way before. KUDOS!!! ❤
Excellent lesson! I wish all teachers taught this way. I've been flirting with this technique off and on as a musician for years, but have yet to find a lesson featuring this amazing technique explained and presented as well as it was explained and presented here! Very exciting and well worth the practice. I have been playing/teaching pro for 33 + years as a fingerstylist and in my humble opinion, I really think the rasquiado techniques plural, is a must to add to ones arsenal of fingerstyle techniques. Well done my friend. Looking forward to more! Peace.
Thank you. Comment like this inspires and motivates me to do more videos. more videos are coming!
BULLSHIT juat to do marketing !!
Entre todos los videos que vi sobre este tema este fue el que mejor, gracias!!
Thanks! I've been working on these Rasgueado's and also in the classical world the Villa Lobos Etude, so it was fun to see them combined at the end!
Thanks so much, I've been playing guitar 1 year now and this has been a focus in the background since the start. As many other comments mention, your advice of it being one fluid motion even while practicing was spot on. The penny dropped straight away and I was able to match full speed in the video in 20 minutes, Amazing!! Seems I'd already built up the wrist speed in other exercises so that's all I was missing! Appreciate the lesson💫
That’s awesome 😎
Pretty good lesson. I've been playing as amateur guitarrist for many years and your suggestions still helped me in some aspects
You're a genius! I tried so many techniques and non of them helped in building speed. But after watching this short video I realized that I've been doing it wrong all of the time. They key for me was when you mentioned that the arm/wrist is the one that should do the second down strumming! That worked like a charm and I was able to build speed immediately after few tries.. Thank you!
This is a fantastic technique lesson and just where I am at in my flamenco studies-- thank you, Jose!
You're very welcome!
OK
after watching some 40+ videos on rasqueado I found this one *the only* useful.
so many thanks, Jose!
Thanks 😊
This is the best lesson I’ve seen on rasgueado. The reason for this is that I’ve been trying it with three fingers. Two fingers is great for beginners. Cheers.
Very good points and camera work. Thanks. Liked and subscribed.
The way u teach is outstanding❤
Thank you very much, you taught me the best way. 👏👏👏👏👏👏🌹🌹🌹👍🙏
muito boa a aula...vou estudar com calma
Jose Tanaka is Japanish
Konnichiwa maestro!! Great to see your tutorials!
Subarashii setsumei !! Oseiwa ...
I know your fame from Tokyo, I have seen you at many performances since long ago! I came to Japan in 1985 ! Was, am a big flamenco aficionado , started playing again from square one.
Your playing inspires my practicing !
My Conde guitar has wooden pegs - not easy to keep it in tune! ...
Big arigatou !
GV
It’s great to hear that you are playing again. Thanks 😊
The Villa Lobos flash at the end was fantastic.
Excellent video instruction. Thank you
Great video! Would love to see you do more rasgueado videos. :0)
Will do!
Thank you for this tutorial Jose. I have always used paip rasgueo but love the clarity and attack of the pmpp rasgueo. I was never happy with my sound, but I picked up a few solid pointers from your video that I am sure will make an improvement. Love the journey...thank you for sharing! 🙏
thahk you. Very professional
Thank you Jose! I've been struggling trying to figure out this crazy thing for a couple weeks.
Very helpful thank you Jose Tanaka!
Lance Carr Guitar you are welcome :)
Great teaching ! and great video ! of such a wonderful flamenco technique Thank you and God Bless you always !
You are welcome and thank you 😊
So many thanks, very good method.
Thank you. I need to know the differnce between Rasgueado and Triplets. Please elaborate.
Gracias, yo siempre lo hacia con el medio y el anular al mismo tiempo y no sabía por que le sonaba diferente a Antonio Rey por ejemplo
Parabéns mui lindo
Fantastic video! Very enjoyable. Thank you!!
thank you very much !
Wow! I usually play blues or jazz, so flamenco is very foreign to me, but I wanted to start learning this technique. With this video I got it to feel and sound right in like 45 minutes! Although I'll still need to practice to get it fast (duh), this was an awesome lesson!! Thank you so much!
It's really great to hear and makes me happy to hear that this video is helping! Keep on practicing!
Perfect lesson👏👏👏 Do you will teach tremelo Technic also?
What a helpful lesson thank u for this demonstration
👍
Excellent.
Great lesson, thank you !
very helpful, thank you!
Very good explanation. indeed. It would be helpful to know how long it takes for an average person to learn this technique properly? Is it weaks, months or years?
Awesome as usual 👏🏼
Thanks :)
Great video thank you!
great teacher
Excellent lesson! Thanks! But how do you touch the strings on the downstroke, with your fingernail or flesh?
Both
Master jose, some of us students have problem areas in Abanico , While approaching the third beat in fast tempo our thumb sometimes hooks in between , what shall we do ?
Thank you! I would add that wrist must be relaxed)
Villa Lobos progression souds good! Thanks
Hello, I found this tutorial really helpful, thanks a lot !
btw, what is the name of the etude or chord progression you mention at 8:41 ? It would love to deep dive more into it :)
I used chord progression from “villa-lobos Etude in E minor”. Original is not only great arpeggio exercise but it is also a beautiful piece.
Thank u for this lesson 🙏🙏🙏
You are welcome 😊
great!
Excelent video! Thanks!
I would like you to also show us what Antonio Rey showed you about how to practice technique :D picado for example :) How to practice picadooooooooooooooo by Antonio ??? :) Alzapua? Rasgueados? Thank you!
More videos are coming. It took longer than I thought to upgrade my new camera, program, studio etc.
Oleeee! José. Gracias...
Heitor Villa Lobos etiude 1
Chords at the end are from that piece 💪
Grazie Mille!
third advice is really critical to me . I was really strugglng to learn this technique , but I'll try this again. but is this normal thing to break the thumb nails when I play rasguqado? Is this possible to play this without nails? Is this normal te feeling of tingling on wrist when I practice rasguqado?
If you do it correctly, you should not break nail or feel tingling. It's hard without seeing how you actually do it but if you are doing this correctly and still feel tingling, you should see hand doctor or physician etc.
Jose Tanaka Thank you so much for this video . Will this possible to be learned by online lessons ? Majority of flamenco technique is big challenge to me .
Mikearch2525 my videos at online lesson site are old but I’m going to add lots of new videos. I’ll keep you guys posted. I highly recommend privates or Skype so I or instructors can give you corrections for techniques.
i also dont understand how im supposed to stroke my thumb down without getting stuck with the nail
Here after gratitude 😍
hi , do we need to strum all the 6 strings in every stroke?
No. It depends. But I recommend practicing it without playing 6 string as I mentioned in video.
Olé! Losing weight, José? Esaaaaaaaa! :)
Lost 65lb so far. going to loose 10lb more :)
How long do you think it takes to do it propely?
It totally depends. Some people get it in 2 weeks and some people takes a couple of years.
Jose Tanaka ;) I started practising the day before yesterday, and didnt do so well since then. I was worried of being untalented. Thats ok then. I will keep it up till I get where I want to be. Thank you sir for the kind answer.
The most important thing is that beginners should learn proper techniques etc. Speed should be secondary.
Jose Tanaka thank you sir, appreciated your time
I have nails on my left hand do I have to cut them???
Yes I recommend you to cut your left hand nails short so they won’t get in the way.
Is work for acoustic guitar or what
I don't have nylon string guitar
You can do this for acoustic. However you can easily damage your nail doing this on acoustic so you have to be careful.
My thumb keeps hooking the strings on the down stroke, what am I doing wrong?
Same happena
Maybe you need to relax more. Practice the thumb downstroke only until it feels smooth. Then try the abanico. Everyone has different thumb shapes. When your thumb is not relaxed the thumb may hook.
@@blender1188 thanks for the input, I'll apply your advice
I don't play much with fingers but I want to learn how to do rasgueado. Is it ok if I practise only in rasgueado for 1 or 2 hours a day?
Absolutely!
Funny thing is that I can do it over the fretboard but I just can't get it over te soundhole, I always get caught in the strings, how can I overcome this.
I"ll be making more tutorials!
Mr. Tanaka has magical outward curving thumbs. I’m going to start doing thumb push-ups like Bruce Lee until the bend backwards like Master Tanaka. So jealous!
Hi Jose, for some reason Abanico is giving me a LOT of problem. I'm following the steps like wrist rotation and all, but the thumb gets stuck on the downstroke. I've been very frustrated and just want to bang my head on the wall
Got the same problem, it's driving me crazy
@@justine-go7557 hey man, i recommend you to learn the p c i p abanico instead of this one. Look it up, I never had problem with abanico after that
@@amartyab4u21 Thanks! I'll definitely try this out
You can get the right thumb down position by first going up and down with the thumb only (rotate the arm not up and down). If that feels oké then add middle finger and go for the triplets.
Anybody know some popular songs to practice this with?
why is my thumb allways going in bewteen the snares??? its soo frustrating for me that when i do all with thumb they always go in the snares.any tips for that?
Try to play lighter. Less deep. Experiment different angles.
@@josetanaka thank you sir
Thank for rotation! My english bad....
This is very difficult . So quickly ! ! Great problem for me ! 😢 😩 😭
Just practice slowly step by step. Make sure that your form is correct. Be patient and you will get it!
@@josetanaka i'm learning flamenco 2 month. I love this.Im know litle golpe end rasquerado.Best regards in Polen 🙌
👏👏👏👏👏👋👍
is this possible with short nails?
Still cannot get it up to speed.
make sure that your form is correct
I was a student of Juan Maya “Marote” who invented this technique. Were you a student of his also?
Not even on speed 0.5 I sound as fast :/
I pray to be freed from lust , as Jesus said it has been a long time now get up and walk and take you bed with you , now go sin no more
No fair! Your thumb curves backwards! My thumb is so straight and ridged it just gets stuck in between the strings! I think you should point out the differences in thumb joints and the advantages or disadvantages. I’ve tried so many times to practice this technique but just can’t get it. Other types of strumming I can do just fine but this one makes me wanna punch the wall!🤣🤨 every time I try I look like I have Parkinson’s and it sounds terrible.🤣🤣🤣 help!
Just keep on working on it and relax. You will get it!
@@josetanaka gracias Maestro!
Great lesson! Thank you!
