RE: My version of picado...wrong? (in reply to Ron.M)

quote:
It kinda fits in with my "Lazy" way of thinking on stuff, although I must say, I've never really been too interested in picado, probably because I'm a weird and maladjusted person Hey, Ron. I have to agree with you there -- not that you are weird and maladjusted, but on the issue of picado. But I had to learn the hard way. I once believed a clean, loud, fast picado was an important milestone on my journey as a flamenco guitarist. But now, having gotten over that hump, I find myself using it a lot less than I expected. I lean toward a very traditional style, and tend now to admire (and aspire to) clean and imaginative thumb work -- maybe because I see strong accompaniment as much more "flamenco" than solo performance, and the thumb is loud enough to be heard over dancers. Sometimes I think of those miners accompanying Tarantos with cracked, calloused work-stiffened hands, and I know I would feel embarrassed to play anything like a flashy technique in front of them. I sometimes think: if it can't be said simply, maybe I should reconsider whether it is worth saying. Tony
