RE: Tech question (in reply to xirdneH_imiJ)

it continues with an arpeggio, so the "last a" has to be there.
I cant seem to get good coordination with "amia", but i dont want to switch to "imia" without being sure that it doesnt worsen (is that a word?) my technique in future.

RE: Tech question (in reply to XXX)

it really depends on the style, if this is a bulería, "a" is a must probably, but if it's a soleá, you can do almost anything you like...

RE: Tech question (in reply to XXX)

if it is meant to be apoyando, rest stroke like picado, then just IMIMIM...if it goes tirando then apoyando I would do a ima IMIM. If it is all tirando then as you wrote it is fine.

Oh if the last a starts an arpegio and you wanted picado before it...a IMIMI a etc....
