Template:Guitar Rasgueado is a guitar technique employed in classical and flamenco styles of guitar playing, allowing rhythmically precise, and often rapid, strumming patterns to be created.
History
Before the 19th century, the terms battuto and golpeado were commonly used to describe the same technique. Although originating in the classic tradition, the technique is most often associated with Flamenco guitar.
Technique
In distinction with ordinary strumming, which is usually done either with a plectrum, or with one clump of fingers at a time, rasgueado generally uses only one digit (finger, thumb, etc) for each strum; this means that multiple strums can be done more quickly than usual by using multiple digits in quick succession.
There are several types of rasgueado, but the two main divisions are those that employ the forearm and thumb in conjunction and those that incorporate only the fingers. Of course, both approaches can be combined to allow for the use of all digits on the hand. [citation needed]
