Strum of the Valseado

The valseado is very similar to the waltz, but a little more marked. In schematic form the strumming can be described 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). With the yolk the thumb you must make a strum to quickly over the strings, 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, producing a snap sound , which contrasts with the soft sound of the strings pulsed with the yolk the thumb. With the palm of the hand stops the sound, resting on the strings, particularly in the second and third beat, so that be more or less marked out, which is what characterizes this strum.

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.
