@gi_gi_ – It’s an Apple TV show called Severance 🙂
@brettboy – LOL and that’s awesome! What a fun idea 🙂
@brettboy – Your performance pleases the board. You’ve earned a celebratory melon bar experience!
@grannieannie – Fingerpicking sounded awesome, Annie! There is one area I would work on and that is the rasgeuado strum.
The secret to the rasgueado strum is all about finger independence. You start with your fingers curled in, then flick them out one at a time like this: pinky, ring, middle, index, (and optionally) thumb. Each finger does its own little strum, and that’s what makes it sound like you’re squeezing 4 or 5 strums into one quick move!
Check out Matt’s lesson on it from the Next Level Strumming Course. It’ll be Module 4, Unit 1. He’s much better at the technique than I am and gives some great insights into performing it.
@malku2603 – My pleasure and you aced the final performance, bravo! 👏
@akukes73 – Very beautifully played, Ash! I too, struggle with getting the roll strum clean each time. Probably why I don’t use it much 😅
I thought you played it extremely well. The only thing I might suggest is defining the trickier rhythms a little more clearly, like the first bar (which repeats) in the Bridge. Try clapping and counting that rhythm out loud while tapping your foot along to a click. That’s a great way to practice.
