Do all these exercises very slowly. Like very slowly. Watch your RH in the mirror, make it look like PdL's, not Vicente's. And make up your own exercises. Remember, 'slow'. good luck

Vicente gets it done, and then some with his picado, BUT its not technically good the way he does it. His pinky finger sticks out, which is a sign of tension. Anular and pinky should be relaxed or should follow the middle finger while doing picado. For a great example of a technically correct picado, look at Grisha's picado. You will see his anular follow his middle finger, and the pinky is moving a little bit along with anular, but is very relaxed, NOT sticking straight out. When practicing picado, practice as staccato as possible. The fingers return to the string immediately after playing each note. The notes should sound extremely short. Dont "hit" the string. Practice a quick plant, and "Control" the string. I believe in Scott Tenants philosophy = Place, pressure, release. TK
