[A] Hi, and welcome back.
Today we have a look at how to apply the three finger rasqueo in
the flamenco style of bulería.
So the three fingers we're going to use are fingers A,
M, and I.
A, M, I.
And the mechanism of this is that we're going to curl our fingers like
we're making a fist, halfway, halfway to a fist, and cross our thumb over top of the
nails.
You can see that we're about covering the last half of the nails.
Then we take the
thumb, bring it in, and clip it on string six.
Now we're not going to push down.
You don't want
to have a lot of tension there.
You just want it to be resting, held in place.
And there are a
couple of variations.
If we have the knuckle outwards, we're going to get more trebles.
If
we bring the knuckle so it's pressing against the soundboard, then we'll get more basses.
And so for
this one, I like to do it with the knuckle pressed against.
So how we do this is, we're going to
start with our ring finger, our A finger.
We hold it in against our thumb, [Em] build up some kinetic
energy, and then we want to release it [A] by itself.
Just one finger at a time.
When that one's fully
released, then we release our M finger.
And when that's fully released, then we release our I
finger.
Now we really want a lot of momentum behind those fingers.
We want them to really
snap.
Initially you might find
[Fm] that there's a lot of tension and your muscles get fatigued.
But as
you continue, try to build and work towards a state of relaxation [A] in your arms so that you can
do this [N] without fatigue.
And now let's apply this to a pattern that we can practice on the
bulería style.
So there will be two elements to this pattern, and we'll look at it in four sections.
The two elements are basically [A] a single strike, or we'll call it a hit, which we're going to do with
our M finger.
And then we'll have the rasqueo [Ab] with the three fingers.
[Bb] So we've got the hit and
the three finger rasqueo.
So we start out with just a hit on beat 12.
Okay, so we're going to
have 12.
And then we'll follow that by rasqueo hit.
So it'll be, and that's 12, 1, 2, 3.
Those
are our beats in our 12 beat.
12, 1, 2, 3.
And then that same rasqueo hit that we just did, we're
going to repeat.
So we have two of those.
We have hit, rasqueo hit, rasqueo hit.
Again, it's hit,
rasqueo hit, rasqueo hit.
In our 12 beat, that's 12, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.
And notice the accents are
on the M finger.
So on beat 12, beat 3, and beat 6 so far.
12, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.
Okay, next we add two
rasqueos back to back, followed by a hit.
So again, that last part is two rasqueos, followed by a hit.
We put that all together, we have our hit, rasqueo hit, rasqueo hit, rasqueo, rasqueo hit.
And that gives us our 12 beats, and they fall on 12, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, [Abm] 8, 9, 10, 11.
Of course, that brings us right back around to our next 12.
So if we loop that, we have hit,
rasqueo hit, rasqueo hit, rasqueo, rasqueo hit.
Or 12, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, [Ab] 11.
12, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, [Abm] 9, 10, 11.
So now let's add a left-hand chord.
[E] We'll play an A.
[A] Okay, so just
barring fifth string open, string four barring along with string three with our first finger, [Dbm] string two with [E] our second finger, and the first string open.
Now [A] we want to use this fingering because it allows us to add other fingers.
For example, or, [Em] alright, so [A] we've got that bar using two fingers to play that A chord.
We use two fingers free to play variations.
So we're just going to do the
rasqueo pattern, the hit rasqueo pattern over the A chord first.
12, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11.
12, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11.
[N]
And then what we can do on the completion of each hit, [A]
hammer down our third finger, string three, fret three.
So we get that A flat nine, that very Spanish sound.
At the end of each
hit, we hammer, and at the end of each rasqueo, we hammer.
And so we get this.
[Bb] 12, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11.
12, 1, 2, [Ab] 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, [A] 8, 9, 10, 11.

the three finger rasqueo.
So we start out with just a hit on beat 12.
Okay, so we're going to
have 12.
And then we'll follow that by rasqueo hit.
So it'll be, and that's 12, 1, 2, 3.
Those
are our beats in our 12 beat.
12, 1, 2, 3.
And then that same rasqueo hit that we just did, we're
going to repeat.
So we have two of those.
We have hit, rasqueo hit, rasqueo hit.
Again, it's hit,
rasqueo hit, rasqueo hit.
In our 12 beat, that's 12, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.
And notice the accents are
on the M finger.
So on beat 12, beat 3, and beat 6 so far.
12, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.
Okay, next we add two
rasqueos back to back, followed by a hit.
So again, that last part is two rasqueos, followed by a hit.
We put that all together, we have our hit, rasqueo hit, rasqueo hit, rasqueo, rasqueo hit.
And that gives us our 12 beats, and they fall on 12, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, [Abm] 8, 9, 10, 11.
Of course, that brings us right back around to our next 12.
So if we loop that, we have hit,
rasqueo hit, rasqueo hit, rasqueo, rasqueo hit.
Or 12, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, [Ab] 11.
12, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, [Abm] 9, 10, 11.
So now let's add a left-hand chord.
[E] We'll play an A.
[A] Okay, so just
barring fifth string open, string four barring along with string three with our first finger, [Dbm] string two with [E] our second finger, and the first string open.
Now [A] we want to use this fingering because it allows us to add other fingers.
For example, or, [Em] alright, so [A] we've got that bar using two fingers to play that A chord.
We use two fingers free to play variations.
So we're just going to do the
rasqueo pattern, the hit rasqueo pattern over the A chord first.
12, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11.
12, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11.
[N]
And then what we can do on the completion of each hit, [A]
hammer down our third finger, string three, fret three.
So we get that A flat nine, that very Spanish sound.
At the end of each
hit, we hammer, and at the end of each rasqueo, we hammer.
And so we get this.
[Bb] 12, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11.
12, 1, 2, [Ab] 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, [A] 8, 9, 10, 11.

And then we'll have the rasqueo _ [Ab] with the three fingers.
[Bb] So we've got the hit and

So we start out with just a hit on beat 12.
Okay, so we're going to

And then we'll follow that by rasqueo hit.
So it'll be, _ _ and that's 12, 1, 2, 3.
Those
are our beats in our 12 beat.
12, 1, 2, 3.
_ And then that same rasqueo hit that we just did, we're
going to repeat.
So we have two of those.
We have hit, rasqueo hit, rasqueo hit.
Again, it's hit,
rasqueo hit, rasqueo hit.
In our 12 beat, that's 12, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.
And notice the accents are
on the M finger. _ _ _ _
_ So on beat 12, beat 3, and beat 6 so far.
12, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. _ _
Okay, next we add two
rasqueos back to back, _ followed by a hit.
So again, that last part is two rasqueos, followed by a hit. _ _
_ We put that all together, we have _ _ _ _ _ _ our hit, rasqueo hit, rasqueo hit, rasqueo, rasqueo hit.
And that gives us our 12 beats, and they fall on 12, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, [Abm] 8, 9, 10, 11.
Of course, that brings us right back around to our next 12.
So if we loop that, we have hit,
rasqueo hit, rasqueo hit, rasqueo, rasqueo hit.
Or 12, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, [Ab] 11.
12, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, [Abm] 9, 10, 11.
So now let's add a left-hand chord.
[E] We'll play an A.
[A] _ _ _ Okay, so just
barring fifth string open, _ _ string four barring along with string three with our first finger, _ [Dbm] string two with [E] our second finger, and the first string open.
Now [A] we want to use this fingering because it allows us to add other fingers.
For example, or, _ [Em] alright, so [A] we've got that bar using two fingers to play that A chord.
We use two fingers free to play variations.
_ So we're just going to do the

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ 12, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11.
12, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11.
[N] _
And then what we can do on the completion of each hit, [A] _
hammer down our third finger, _ string three, fret three.
So we get that A flat nine, that very Spanish sound.
At the end of each
hit, we hammer, and at the end of each rasqueo, we hammer.
And so we get this. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Bb] 12, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11.
