Hi! I have this very serious question about alzapua . I can do alzapua in two ways .but one is wrong ...and i dont know what is the good aproach. I can do alzapua faster but with a little tension in my shoulder,or slower without the tension in my shoulder .The thing is like that ,i have been trying to fight for a long time that little tension..it's a phenomenon like breathing when doing fast scale work. OFFTOPIC I mean usually I have problems with fast scales if (god forbids) I'm a critical point in a scale like a cross string point ,or smth else.Now ,if it's picado i know i have to take it slow and try to breath normally and not to get excited. OFFTOPIC Returning to alzapua ...in my second aproach I have no tension in my shoulder,but my down movement relies completely(or almost) on the natural weight of my hand(more succint I let it fall across the chord,ofcourse after i hit the bass note).Now, this could be a ticket to heaven if I could control the falling ...but it's very hard. So which way ? Try to exercise with that little tension and hope that in time i'll have less and less tension (i mean with the barre holding it all worked out eventually,i have less and less tension with practice),or exercise slowly without tension and hope that i get faster? I know that only my wrist should work,but that's in theory ...I've seen Nunez saying that but I dont know....i'm sure that he does it now only from the wrist ,but i dont know which road did he take to get here.
