Golpe (guitar technique)

Golpe is mostly used in Flamenco guitar. It is a finger tap on the golpeador ("pick guard").

Technique

A guitarist usually performs Golpe with the middle or annular (ring) finger, either simultaneously with a down-stroke by another finger (e.g., simultaneous down-stroke with index finger and golpe with annular finger), or independently to accent off beats. The technique requires that the strumming finger and golpe finger move in opposite directions at the same time.

gollark: (though since lua loves its strings-as-byte-arrays that wouldn't be great)
gollark: I mean, you could allow use of arrays of bytes (well, tables) if it's that awful.
gollark: Well, it's a useful feature, adding an option doesn't seem *too* awful since lua is stupid and has no dedicated byte buffer type, and wait I only have two things to say.
gollark: ... how else would it work? Magic autodetection?
