Interesting picado? 
Interesting? You decide...i've never seen it done quite like this before. It happens around 1:05

Hello,
this guitarist has a very clean style and a very good technique!
I was not really impressed from the picado which is not so strong respect to his
rasgueo.
Good!

i agree with Franchiquito.
Couldnt see anything special in that picado part.
Ok its fast but nothing special.

But i like this very short killer picado at 3:51

Very good and solid player. Left hand is amazing imo.

lol a little unfair to compare. I like everything he does around minute 4. Especially compas variation after the picado. Im really counting the days when he will release his Solo CD. Hopefully with 3 Bulerias hehe.

off to practice now

i'm not sure I would classify the picado in the original link as anything special myself. I agree it wasn't particularly strong or fast, although stronger and faster than my own, but what struck me was the way he seems to drag is thumb across the strings almost seemingly to anchor (?) his right hand. I don't know, just have never seen that technique - not that it hasn't been done before, just had never seen it.

Oh ok, i have to admit that i overlooked what you mentioned now Francisco.

Hmm...interesting but strange!

Actually i tried to play some picado right now with that thumb position
and it is really uncomfortable to play picados like that but somehow i feel that i
have a little bit more power in my "i" and "m" finger when playing only on one string.

Maybe he use it to dampen the Bass strings so that they dont sound?
I dont know.

Sounded kinda flubbed. The triplet rasgueados are not defined, and
he's a hair behind, from trying to go too fast.

His alzapua is especially weak.
Its fairly defined, but soft as a pillow. He's got really long nails, and he's
being very finesse'y with them. He should file them down, and dig in more.
Just my 2,
T

Niño de pura does this, it keeps the basses from ringing too.

Yeah Sam,
I've heard that guy before.
He's good!!
In that piece it sounds a bit like his nails are too short or something?
The Alzapua sounds a bit too fleshy as well as the picado.

But the music's all there!

Olé!!

cheers,

Ron
