I developed chronic tendonitis/osis in my m finger years back while trying to get good at picado. For about a year, I stopped playing with that finger and re-fingered my repertoire with just p,i, and a. I could play 4-note tremolos without practicing, and my ia picado was about as good as my im without ever having worked on that motion, either. Unfortunately, even avoiding m like this did not totally take out the strain, so the finger took a long time to heal. By the way, sounds great Juan!

Not sure if it's off help and my flamenco tremelo is a focus of my daily practice at present ( my classical pami seems ok ) One thing I noticed, which is similiar to how I first approached it is the position of your arm/shoulder and hand In the below video ( which you've probably seen but has been of great help ) and also noticeable with Juan's clean and controlled technique Is the lowered elbow ( hug that guitar ) and wrist The problem I experiened when using a similiar position to yours is my tremelo became very uneven an lumpy from 90bpm on - also hand started looking a bit dystonic - shaking - uncontrolled - m finger jutted out so created a disproportionate sound - kind of noticeable in your audio and video ( I only say these things because it reminds me of myself ) So I'm back to slower tempos with a lowered elbow and different hand position - seems a lot better in terms of sound and control - also a metronome that can sub divide into quintuplets is helping my evenness Just an observation - not sure it's of use but there you go .. http://youtu.be/w00RhdzMaE4 Awesome video Juan - thanks for the post and showing how it's done
