Since it is picado season for me, I have been working on my scales. The thing that seems to trip me up is the 1st string in general, and in particular transitions to the first string. I have always found it hardest to play fast on the 1st string. My middle finger just wants to grab it and doesn't want to play freely. So any kind of speed exercise, I can do it faster on the other strings and the 1st is always the slowest and "stickiest". It shows up especially is something like Panaderos Flamencos in the passages where you start on, say the 2nd string, run up to the A on the 1st string, then run back down. The biggest problem will always be on that first string, often the m finger will stick and trip me up. (The 2nd biggest problem is the string crossing to the 2nd string). Well, any ideas? https://pumasunleashed.files.wordpress.com/2012/07/shrinkage.jpg?w=600
