Flamenco Guitar Techniques: How to Play Fan Rasgueos Tresillos

Transcript

Hi, I'm Dan Garcia. I'm going to show you how to do this technique called a tresillos resqueos in avonico, where we play a really fast triplets, okay? And we use our pinkie and our thumb and a lot of help from our wrist.

It's a triplet figure and it begins with your thumb in an upward motion, then pinkie in a downward motion, followed by your index. So one-two-three, one-two-three. Then one more time, thumb up, pinkie down, index down, okay.

There's a lot of players that play this, instead of with the pinkie, they do it with the annular finger. I prefer the pinkie. I feel there's more momentum with that finger, but it's up to you. Whatever works for you. So here we go. One-two-three, one-two-three, one-two-three, one-two-three. So have fun.
