Cool. Might like to check that book out. Let me know what you think.

Big thread picado
Good ship lollipop

Shouldn't it be 'big picado thread' ?

And that's pretty presumptuous....

Honestly after the capital letters in the title I was expecting more from you in terms of opening question.

Anyone tried Scott Tennant's synchronization exercise at 5:50 and got results?
It doesn't seem to work for me. I end up being good at only this chromatic run. Things get tricky when I have to play more complicated scale patterns on all 6 strings vertically.

I don't really get the R/L hand synchronization thing. Just practice with the dang metronome, and if your off the beat then slow down 'till its right. Bam! Synchronized!

A good point. I'm gonna do El Entri picado speed exercise I found on the foro. I hope I'll get results in a few months time.

I like del Monte's approach. I highly recommend it.
I collected too many flamenco guitar books in pdf or in print. But I've never worked on them though. I only read some of them.

Sorry its too easy with you.

But I'm often reminded nietzsche quote...
