Now at the end of October I’m able to do this at his speed in the video. Memorized the 8 moves within 45 minutes but took quite sometime to build any speed at all.

That’s great! Now grab a pick and try to do the same basic thing you are doing with fingers and I (you) will be blown away at how much your strumming ability has improved.

Thank you very much! If emphasis was placed on rythym early on the guitar would be so much more enjoyable. This movement is so efficient once you get the feel down. Plus this is an exercise you can practice even when you don't have a guitar. I now have a very impressive rythym that immediately impresses the listener. Now I'd love to learn more. Thank you very much for a very nice presentation!!

Its a rasgueado :)

[@Cpedrondb]

+sheikh s It's a rasgueo. It's basically movements 1, 2 and 3 of the video, but instead of the thumb ending underneath, it ends above the strings, so you can repeat it really fast. Thumb down, thumb up, all fingers down. Not so difficult.

[@Cpedrondb]

+TheZortlak I've managed to get the rhythm in the same day, and play really fast in 2 - 3 days. It depends on how familiar you are with the guitar. But it's not that hard as it seems, start really slow and keep it going :)

[@GoMiGman]

odeon basket You know, I've been playing guitar with a pick for over 30 years and I've only become interested in Flamenco guitar and the style just recently and I tell you, it's probably much easier for me because of past experience but it was still a challenge but once I've gotten the handle on it, it's absolutely super enjoyable! I feel it makes you more one with the guitar because your usuing your fingers directly and not the means of a separate tool (the pick) to play the guitar. BUT, I can't play my fast scales using picado whatsoever, just yet, as I can with a pick. I think picado is something that takes A LOT of serious practice even if you're an experienced guitar player who's always played with a pick.

[@aaronpatterson6775]

I’ve been playing the guitar now for about 2 year on and off, I noticed that I like to play fast so my progression with standard pop songs 👎 I carnt seem to play slow I don’t use a pick and prefer to use my 🤚. After watching this I realised what I’ve been missing. This is what I now will be learning thanks for the video. Out of the three videos I’ve watched you are the best for sure. 😊

[@kensa3844]

So the strumming is pretty easy and all but one of the problems I have is that whenever I strum with my thumb I end up scraping part of the skin :(
