How to Develop a Continuous 'Fan' Rasgueado - (Tariq Harb, guitar)

[@sodashinakamura8202]

Thank you very much you covered almost everything

[@fretlessblunder]

Much appreciated. Precise explanation. Well illustrated.

[@rosace2000]

Thank you.

[@PuffPuff279]

I can't believe I've watched and enjoyed your videos on FB for several years and never thought to subscribe to you. My bad. Great video. :)

[@georgeholbert3795]

Thank you!

[@Shafaq69]

Many thanks !! Was looking for a good lesson on this technique

[@rickandrew6397]

Some how (as usual 🤔) your explanation has been the easiest to helping accomplish this Thank You 👍

[@hamishmccreight6639]

This is often called a "triplet rasgueo" - using thumb-middle-thumb (p-m-p......p is thumb), and if you practice slowly - you can do it while just sitting watching television - and build up the speed it is very effective. But this is different from a "continuous rolling p-i-m-a-i rasgueo"(p is small finger) , which is even more spectacular. Juan Martin uses that quite a lot when playing. That is what I was looking for - how to make a p-i-m-a-i rasgueo sound smooth without that slight gap in it . Some videos on here do cover it.

Thanks for this!

Thank you!Will you ever come to Barcelona(Spain)?

[@demej00]

I wondered if you controlled the muscles or let the hand flop. No one else talked about that. Thank you.

[@sodashinakamura8202]

He talks about it at 3:38.

[@wimbronkhorst7382]

Thank you Tariq. You kind of sound like Pepe Romero when you speak. Very elegant.

When it goes fast it's like magic 🎩 ✨

[@paulgriffinpencil]

ummm. This video is how I felt when I first learnt of tremolo. hahahaha I'm not at this stage with spanish music but this was inspirational. It is a beautiful sound. constant trips, not easy. respect.

[@pramitkishore7971]

I have a question. I understand that for the thumb we use arm rotation, but what about the middle finger? Do we kind of shoot it or is it a part of the rotation as well? It's much more tough to strum with the middle finger using arm rotation, shooting it seems easy. I'm a total beginner in rasguedo

[@d.d.70]

Thanks a lot! Always like your tutorials! There always is so many information in between the lines! 🤩🤩👌👍

[@livindadrm]

Great tutorial, thanks! And btw, that lamp looks beautiful now 😉 Cheers 🎶

[@allenhong205]

could you please play Sakura and variation for us? I really want to hear your version of this great piece because my daughter doesn't content with other versions on line she thinks your edition might be the best based on your understanding of music

[@robosing225]

when I try to mimic exactly your form, my thumb's exact playing point of contact gets "caught" underneath a string on the down stroke. it's because my thumb does a scoop as you rotate the "fan" downward, striking the notes in a flurry. how do I fix this? no matter what, I twist and strum with the thumb, I cannot avoid getting momentarily stuck.

[@TeeHarb]

You're thumb most probably needs to be filed slightly differently in order not to hook. It should pass smoothly over the strings whether it's during the upstroke or during the downstroke. I would say experiment with filing and see how that goes!

[@davidjohn4140]

I really appreciate your comment because it's the exact same with me and probably many others. I like the way Mr Harb breaks it down though and I will practice it. Then I watch Juan Martin with his 2 " thumb on his right hand and wonder how he does it. Lol

[@theblev5ter909]

Anybody know any good songs to practice this with?

[@antares1840]

Hey man my I nailed the technique down but my only problem is that my thumb get stuck because of my nail even tho isn't that long. Any advice?

[@doyeonkim6742]

Do you use a separate guitar for flamenco music? Or is it okay to use a classical guitar for both classical and flamenco?

[@reyhanhemmatfari5888]

😍😍😍👌👌👌👌

[@AchtungAffen]

Great tutorial! Abanico is not an electric fan though, it's the hand held one.

[@politykanazw2622]

Very nice, I shall now proceed to destroy my fingers on my steel string guitar.

[@davorjuretic5177]

Actually you didn't tell us anything and you know it. Your grin reveals it. This is a very difficult technic to master. How long did it take you to acquire this speed? How often should one practice and for how long? is it 5', or 1 hour per day or per week? Should we use a metronome? And the most important information is how long it takes for an average student to learn the fan rasgueado? is it a week, a month, a year or five years?

[@TeeHarb]

Jeez, hold your horses there with the accusations, boy! If you didn’t get anything from this video it’s not my problem. I gave you the key element that is needed to master it. Try it at least!
