    In that video Larrive seems to be strumming quite fast but what makes him amazing is that hes "slapping and popping" the guitar as well, a tough technique to learn. He also seems to be doing flamenco style strumming, which is where you use all four fingers and strum the string with each finger one after the other in a sort of fan like motion. He is also doing some finger tapping, quite a rare thing done on an acoustic.
    I remember a guy playing like him when i did a course at ACM.
    It really is a LOT more than just strumming.

    @ guitar guru 666: do u mean hes using his extensor muscles (i think) like flamenco guitarists and is playing using a rasguedo (not sure if spelt correctly) type technique

    on closer inspection i think he is actually using a alzapua technique aswell, he utilises his thumb quite effectively !

    @mr singh: you might be onto something with the alzapua technique, he has an extremely fibriated dextruous thumb, i dont think its rasguedo though more like chihuahua ;)

    agree... those are incredibly hard to read...

    lol :p: ... if he were given these tabs, i bet that he wont be able to interpret them because he made that stuff up !! I dont think he looks @ the tab and then plays it... its his own style and its hard to write tabs for it and even hard to play by reading them...

    bottom line - experiment, practice, experiment... and come up with your own style...
