Strumming technique employed in this song?
Greetings, watching some Igor Presnyakov's arrangements for fingerstyle guitar, I can see he strums in a particular way, the strumming per se starts at 0.10 to 0.15 minutes of the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8UdWBFsUO0A
I was wondering which kind of strumming was that, if it was from flamenco or any other genre. Thanks.

That particular section is basically a flamenco-style rasgueado, but he's playing most of the song with his hand in more of a clawhammer/frailing configuration. He's not doing anything too complicated, just lots of plucking and downstrokes with the fingernails, plus the thumb slaps--this is the same sort of thing, minus the rasgueado, though it sounds simpler (albeit more to my taste).

Okay guys, so basically yes a Flamenco or flamenco-esque strumming, I see his right hand (when strumming), moves near the bridge and then near the rosette, Does this come from a particular strumming in the flamenco genre or do you think (like I do) that Igor himself made that up?

As mentioned above, its quite common in nylon strung to seek out different tone colour by playing sul ponticello (near the bridge) or sul tasto (towards the fretboard) and everywhere in between. It has to be said that Sabicas was very fond of doing this to get a big swell to his continuous rasgueados but its not *that* common in flamenco as most of the time you are looking for a real bite to the attack. Igor certainly didn't invent anything here though.

Okay, is there any video or booklet which shows excercises or gives instruction on the strumming in question? THanks
That is, does that strumming in flamenco or whatever have a particular name?
