Does the finger tip bend back when d... 
Hey Guys, working on cleaning up my picado accuracy since I've been striking it on the finger tip first, slapping my nail against the string. I've been practising striking right where the nail meets the flesh, and putting alot of awareness there. I know the movement comes from the big knuckle and general the middle knuckle will be bent. However, Is the fingertip supposed bend backwards or give a bit when pushing down on the string towards the soundboard? I dont know if it was before or not just because It wasn't really something I had to think about. Now im trying to pay attention to all the little details here in order to improve my tone and speed. From what I understand the fingertip will give when playing slower, but when faster it won't since this is wasted motion, when playing faster your fingers will be stiffer in general?

It is addressed here:



Couldn’t help but review this video from 7 years ago that has 8 poor Guinea pigs (5 of us foro members here) unknowingly put under the microscope of “picado posture” according to the professor’s cult, and 4 pros that he also wants to critique. My old comments on this have been deleted. We never learn what they are after with this, but at the very end you can see the horrific dystonic method the cult leader is employing that looks like no decent player ever.

Oh Jesus Christ. I missed that. He actually did that???

Took yt videos of people teaching picado and critiqued them? Unbeknown to them? Wtf

I havent eduction the whole thing.... but it's he in effect saying that these people who are doing it right, are "doing it wrong? "


HAHA. I skipped to the end to watch his version. Honestly! I can't believe he's NOT a troll. Doing a parody. I know he's obsessed with pdl . But his picado looks nothing like paco.

Even previously devout disciples must look at his twitching and wriggling about like he has a ferret in his trousers and think....."err this guy is crackers"
