Congratulations on an excellent tutorial. I think you are an excellent teacher. Picado apoyando is good, but not resting the thumb an letting it float allows the fingers to maintain the angle to the strings for a smoother transition from string to string. The latter also allows the "p" to strike a base note during the run as in the end of Panaderos. Both approaches have their merit. I would be very interested in your thoughts about the value of three finger picado, specifically i-a-m, i-a.m (triplets) that overcomes the need to cross alternating fingers in some scales, such as in Fandangos de Huelva.
@DavidChiriboga
3 жыл бұрын
Thanks for the feedback! So yes, I agree there are merits to both those approaches. But as the majority of Flamenco players use the anchored thumb approach, that’s the way I was taught. On the flip side, I have used the floating thumb approach on a few pieces where the context forces you to use that method. It’s just not my go-to for typical runs or scale style phrases. But definitely nothing wrong with it! There’s some phenomenal players that I admire, usually more classical based, that rip away so smoothly and fast with that method. In the end it’s about either learning both or choosing the one that feels good to you. Same for the three finger picados. There are some maestros like Grisha or Javier Conde(I think) that use that as one of their picado vehicles. I’ve tried it in exercises fashion, for technique practice, but for me personally, to use it in real life just felt more confusing and unnatural. For me two fingers feels as natural as walking. I’m not use to walking with three legs 🦵🏼 😉

I’ve seen everything done lol So sure it’s possible. For me personally, being so use to doing this on thicker nylon strings and the different action and guitar set up from a Spanish guitar, it didn’t flow well for me. But that said, I didn’t explore it more since that wasn’t my goal. I think your attack has to be even lighter and more precise so that you don’t get snagged on the strings. For fingerstyle jazz on an electric, Id also experiment with free strokes picking which I see more hybrid players using on electric. Free stoke position seems to flow better when you’re playing a lot of chord melody, so that you can more easily play chords in between. Sorry I can’t be of great help on this one, just my personal take.

@DavidChiriboga
Жыл бұрын
It’s hard to tell without seeing your exact nails and hand position. But generally speaking, too long nails can get in the way for picado. I like to make sure I’m playing from the left corner of the fingers and that I’m able to get some flesh and nail. If they’re too long, you should be able to tell. In terms of position, for free stroke, the knuckles are generally a little lower, nothing drastic, but a slight different angle. I should make a video on this subtle difference between positions…

David: A very thorough presentation, Sir. :) As you are aware, many classical players have "longer" nails, to be sure. As such, playing rest can sometimes be a little more 'challenging" with really long nails because with longer nails, it is more difficult to play faster, because the longer nails create a longer :"resistance" to the adjacent string. Therefore, I have a question. In Flamenco guitar, is it better to use considerably shorter nails to that with picado, the flesh of the finger pad traverses ONLY a much shorter length ? Thank you for your help. :) Antoine
@DavidChiriboga
Жыл бұрын
Hi Antoine! So you might see the slightly longer nails on some classical players, but that’s not always necessarily true. I can just speak from pets on l experience and learnings from my maestros. I learned a while back that the longer nails are such a hinderance for many of the techniques, or even for achieving a nice fleshy golpe sound when desired. So I went shorter. They still do the job, but now they don’t get in the way or add delay to picado. I agree, long nails with picado can be tricky, and adds time to the strokes. So in answer, yes, I like feeling the flesh and having it roll off the left corner of my nails. That’s what feels good and efficient to me, and I like the sound.
@globalonemusic2381
Жыл бұрын
@@DavidChiriboga I thought so. :) There is no disputing that in Flamenco OR Classical, shorter nails DO allow someone to play faster. Sextuplet arpeggios, tremolos, two, three finger scales, etc. With longer nails, it is just easier to keep the right hand a little further from the guitar. You will be pleased to know that THE ISSUE is that we were taught in university 40 years ago, that although classical guitar "is what it is".....the reality also is that the Flamenco players WERE ALWAYS better technicians than the classical players ! :) :) That is why I asked my original question.

@DavidChiriboga
Ай бұрын
Hey James! Thanks 👌🏼So I would say about 98% of Flamenco guitarists do picado with the standard two finger picado. The three finger picado is more of a specialty thing I’ve seen a few players do. Some players use it only for exercises to help with finger independence and not depend on the two standard fingers (I & M). Some will also practice exercises with the I & A or M & A. I think Grisha Goryachev likes doing the three finger version on occasion, but not as his main one… So, if you’re curious about pursuing it, I’d say you can introduce it as an exercise first and experiment with it very slowly to start. But the main thing is to master the two finger version first. Especially when crossing from string to string, the three finger will be much more challenging than the two finger version.

@DavidChiriboga

Hi Paul! You should be able to start with either finger, I or M, especially when it’s not pre-planned, you should have the agility to start with either. When you’re learning a piece and can plan it out, choose the finger that feels best to start. Usually it’s best to start with the finger that will give you the best natural position for the start if you’re crossing strings. For example if your first note is on the second string and then next note is the on first string, then picado would start with index more most likely and be more comfortable. Hope that helps. 👍🏼

I have been practising picado for some time now,thanks to you my fingers are really moving fast now but I have a doubt. If I am playing three notes on one string For eg:- If I am playing three notes on the G string and I have to move to the first string then do I have to play that string with my middle finger because you can't repeat a finger( the pattern will be I M I(G string) and then M on the first string) or I can use index finger on the first string because it's a different string? In the following cases:- 1) I M I (e string) to ?(D string) 2)I M I M I(E string) to ?(G string) When there are big leaps like these.
@DavidChiriboga

So in general for a situation like this, I would personally still stick to alternating the fingers consistently. So yes, the M finger would strike the high E string coming from the G string IMI. It would be harder to jump with the same finger for me. Very very few times, because of the context of a piece, I may do a repeat. But see what makes sense to the piece for you.

Thanks for watching and the nice comment! Appreciate it. So the picado technique works perfectly well on a classical, they just call it “rest stroke” technique. Pure Classical guitarists tend to play more free stroke picking than rest stroke, generally. So the short answer, you should be fine learning some flamenco on your classical. Just be careful with golpes/tapping on the top. If you have longer nails, you’ll wear away at the top of the guitar. Let me know if you’d like any particular tutorials I can help out with... 🙂

Feel free to check out my nail care video incase that helps... Lastly, in regards to form, if you were approaching the string from too underneath, that can be an issue.

So the way I show in the video is pretty standard, as picado is also called “apoyando”(pushing/resting) on the next string. While this is standard, I’ve seen players that bounce off the string quicker and it works for them. But I would suggest if you’re a beginner and just learning this, to try resting. Or if you do not have good results without resting; then try it, test it out for at least a month. Otherwise if the other way works for you, then go with that.

No problem... Yea, there can be many schools of opinion on how to tackle some techniques. Honestly, if something works for one person, then great, but it may not work for another. So I would never say that one approach is the only approach. My approach is pretty standard in the Flamenco realm. For example, Vicente Amigo, one of Flamenco’s current greats, is know for having some weird hand forms. But since his playing is phenomenal, not much you can say about it lol. Anyway, last thing I would say is to really focus on where your powering your picado from and how much tension there is. For years, at the beginning, I played with too much tension, due to playing in loud places, and it totally slowed me down. I had to learn to relax the fingers and play from the knuckle joint. The tips of the fingers should be very flexible and give in. Hope that helps a bit and prob the best I can describe via chat. Good luck with it!

Why does the tension on the treble strings feel so tight on my guitar..l feel like that’s really hindering my Picado. Also my middle finger is slightly crooked, I get more response time with I and ring finger. I try and practice with both

Hard to know without seeing it, why there’s more tension on the trebles. All I could suggest off hand is to try low tension strings or at least for your trebles. For the picado fingers, there’s nothing wrong with using I and Ring if that works for you. There’s a smaller percentage of guitarists that like to use those fingers with success as well. So that’s ok if that works for you finger structure. So yes, practice a little with both fingerings, however I would decide on one main fingering for performance sakes.
