This question was already discussed here. Here's a link to a thread about the free stroke/rest stroke question: http://www.foroflamenco.com/tm.asp?m=14623&appid=&p=&mpage=1&key=free%2Cstroke&tmode=&smode=&s=#14623 The summary seems to be that it depends. It depends on your style, the song, your technique, strings, guiter, register, ascending or descending, etc. Some people can make free stroke sound very much like rest stroke. Most of the time flamencos want the bite and the dampening of sustain and overtones that rest stroke provides. Sometimes not, though. Nunez does these insanely quick four note picado runs (basically a single tremelo rolls) that I'm pretty sure are all free stroke. So the amount of free stroke you use is up to you, but you're probably limiting yourself by playing all of your flamenco with free stroke. If the length of your nails is prohibitive, you may want to shorten them a bit. I don't know what non-flamenco music you play that would require really long nails, but you can keep a flamenco sound with shorter nails. I moved from longer nails to shorter ones, and it does change the feel and the tone a little, but you can adjust to those things. I won't go into my thoughts on that unless you're considering giving it a try. best, Travis.
