Make sure that you exercise not just index and middle, but also ring and index fingers. Middle and ring are optional. hey grisha, can you tell your reasoning behind this? i practice i,m and m,a but never i,a because the feeling and speed is so close to i,m, even without practice. i want to know if i'm missing out on something. i tried this flat wrist position today and wow, what a difference. some things i noticed are: 1. the difference in length between i and m is less noticeable. 2. when changing strings, the general distance the hand/arm needs to travel is decreased. 3. switching to or from any other technique is easier. 4. more stability, sticking out the pinky seems to give a bit of "balance" as well. 5. more bite. 6. it's easy to see how people can be confused and think the middle joint is doing the work. i changed my arpeggio position to bent fingers/flat wrist as well to test it out and i liked the sound more. what an eye opening thread.

Really I just want to challenge you more since you seem competative and like to proove things that you can do things. I know you would remember what I said and make an awesome video to show us you did it despite what I sad, and that is inspiring. Just figured my comment would give you some more fuel to work on it. aahhhhhahahah, you bastard!!! Yeah, it worked great!! haha I wore my nails down bigtime last night working on it. Yeah, i hear ya on the pick thing. Here i am just starting with index/middle alternation at age 40. My left hand is like "um, catch up!!" Its frustrating, but fun at the same time. I will keep working on it, and what ever happens, as long as i can play the pieces i like, i'll be happy. There's always some long picado run here or there that trips me up, but all in all, i get most satisfaction from non picado falsettas. It would just be nice to roll through picado runs, and not have to fight with them. I gotta get up there for a lesson from you soon man. I need some new material. You gotta show me some Gerardo stuff. Preferably non-picado falsettas!!! Thanks for the never ending inspiration and knowledge you give us here dude. You are the man.... TK
