RE: picado fingering question (in reply to HolyEvil)

this is an interesting point The principle of picado is alternation, and every one has to learn this, at least at the beginning. But the practise is not always so, particularly where slurs are concerned, as in the case of your question. I have seen Gerardo Nuñez, Tomatito, Pepe Habichuela and Enrique de Melchor all play a note with a finger, play a slur and then repeat that same finger to play the next note, as in your question example. There are examples on all their Encuentro's. Check Tomatito on the last phrase of the intro to the Soleá Por Bulería. Or Gerardo on the end of the Tangos falseta in the picado section. Or Pepe Habichuela in Soleá Por Bulerías or Alegrías. I have also been told (by a high level guitarist who has spent years studying his technique) that Paco de Lucía plays this way, in order to maintain the rhythm of alternating fingers on/off beat. I don't know why noone ever seems to mention these examples, as there are so many they almost seem the rule.
