In flamenco, most passages or runs played with P are played apoyando, as opposed to classical players, who frequently would play the same run free stroke with P. When playing apoyando with P in flamenco you have to adopt a totally different hand position. You bring the back of your hand down toward the golpeador, and reach back up to the strings with P, generally with your thumb now on more of an angle to the strings. What you do with your fingers varies slightly with different players, but the basic idea is still the same – to provide support. Some players curl their fingers up a bit, and rest their knuckles on the golpeador. Some players extend their fingers, and just touch the golpeador with their fingertips, etc. All these are pretty much the same, because the main point is to provide support and to approach the strings with P at the proper angle. The best thing to do is simply watch a lot of players on YouTube, and you will see all this for yourself.
