  • one question... how do you get the tapping sound if you dont have long nails??... is it compulsory to grow your nails??

  • If you look closely you will see that the nails of the m and a fingers are not the first point of contact. The flesh contacts the body of the guitar first. As the flesh presses down with (most of) the impact and compresses, the nail follows and produces the nail sound. To hit the guitar with only the nail tip will break the nail. So the nail sound you hear is really only an after effect. You obviously need nails to pluck the strings, as well as for golpe, but keep them as short as possible.

  • I LOVE listening to Flamenco, for some reason I can listen it for hours! I started to learn guitar 2 years ago and I've been playing both classic and electric. I had a teacher who taught classic, but I learned everything really fast and he couldn't teach me more technique. Now that I want to learn flamenco, I bought a book, but my hand is not used to techniques, like rasgue. I'm more used to start it from my index finger, although I should with my ring finger. Is there any advice you can give??

  • Visit the website. There is information about rasgueado techniques there.
