Thanks for posting, an interesting piece of music and well played. I particularly liked the hand slapping (or thumping) about 3:25 into the piece. Is there a name for that technique? Is it written into the music, or is that your interpretation?

[dean18]

I don't know about what that technique is called but it is described at the beginning of the piece where it is called for. At the point you mentioned (around 3:26) that same technique is not specifically called for, but I have heard other interpretations where it has been used and I thought that it worked well there.

Golpe? I can't listen to the link, but that's one standard term for "tapping" in flamenco guitar. Hence the "golpeador" on a flamenco guitar is "a thing that protects the guitar top from massive damage due to such abuse." Translation straight form the Spanish Royal Dictionary...

skillful playing Dean.
