Need help on left hand techniques

Can someone please explain how do some people can strum and pluck together at the same time.And also others go a bit higher by strum and pluck and percussion all at the same bloody time.How the hell they do that?I come across many left hand techniques and learn nearly all of them but both these techniques baffled me the most.Tried everything i knew from flemenco,basic strumming,three finger plucking and also flemenco with tremelo effect(i invented this technique).Any info on how to play so will be appreciated.

After you left (included link to video example we used) one member stated this for the pluck+strum impression you got:


[11:38] <@Laon> 1:15 even

[11:39] <@Momo-nee> hes just struming down and picking one string when returning up
[11:39] <@Dave1> oh
[11:39] <@Laon> dem eyes
[11:39] <@Dave1> ...so what i said earlier

And this is right hand (for most guitarists), not left hand.

I think this would qualify for this thread.
I've been practicing some licks and stuff and suddenly reached this one

How would you play this?
I've been doing Index Middle Pinky Index but then the next line is like also the same pattern Index Middle Pinky Index and at yngwie speeds theres a slight pause from my index of the 4th fret to the index of the 5th fret and same from 5th to 6th. I'm faster doing Index Middle Pinky Middle Index Middle Pinky Middle.
Anyone who knows the yngwie technique could tell hows the appropiate way for these kind of licks?

I tried and it works and sounds great.Thanks Momo-nee.But how about if the technique is added with percussion as done by igor.

Depending on the percussive sound needed, you just smack the body of the guitar when you're not playing a note. Just keep trying til you get it up to tempo and rhythmic.

I tried but i bleed on right side of my index finger of my right hand.I knew from there that this is not the right way to play it.Although it can produce the exact sound, I get bleeding instead.Plus,i think he is not smacking the guitar but hitting strings instead.Thats what i did.From what i tried,smacking the guitar doesnt produce the same percussive sound.
