Most classical guitar players, outside current conservatory students or professional players, have limited time in which to practice each day.<\/p>\n
What if there were something we could do off the guitar wherever we happen to be, that would directly help our guitar playing?<\/p>\n
Well, as you may have guessed from the question, there is!<\/p>\n
Rasgueados<\/a> (pronounced rahs-kay-ahh’-dohs<\/strong>) is a right-hand strumming technique used largely in Spanish<\/a> flamenco music. While you may or may not be interested in playing this type of music, rasgueados\u00a0are wonderful for the hands.<\/p>\n The beauty in doing them off the guitar, on your legs, is that both hands can get into the act. (On the guitar, it’s solely a right-hand technique.)<\/p>\n
