Strum of the Litoraleña

The song of the coast of argentine litoral, or litoraleña, is quite similar to chamamé, but slower. While there are variations depending on the type of song can be outlined as follows:



Where P is the thumb, and M the fingers of his right hand. The arrows indicate that the strings are pressed from the 6th to the 1st, with the thumb the most serious (eg. 6th, 5th, 4th and 3rd), and with the other fingers the strings more acute (eg. 4th, 3rd, 2nd and 1st). For make strum, pass the thumb on the strings quickly to ring almost all at once, like a fast arpeggio. With the remaining fingers (the pinky is not used), you must make a strum with fingernails on 3 or 4 strings simultaneously, which contrasts with the soft sound of the strings pulsed with the yolk the thumb.

To make things easier I put an animation with sound with the movement of the hand so that you can imitate it. With what you already know, should not take long to learn to do so with some ease.
