Sheesh mark, I am going to the old school foro after that! Honestly, a couple personal feelings. This technique if "old school" at least if you think of Paco's "Fantasia Flamenca" is old, since he was messing a lot with this technique on that album. Perhaps not so extensively as Nuñez with cross stings, but he was doing it non the less. Secondly, it is important to point out this technique is not truely "picado". It is more like a tremolo/arpegio free strokes technique, that is being used for scalar runs. And lastly, to get the speed up on this, and I figured this out more from Paco than Gerardo but it IS the same kind of technique, but if work on the ending of it more, it is more tremolo like and smooth. meaning I practice like this: E----6--7----------------6--7-----------6--7----------etc B-9------------------9---------------9---------------------- G------------------------------------------------------------- D------------------------------------------------------------- A-------------------------------------------------------------- E--------0-------------------0---------------0--------------- So you work on a fast gallop iam, and emphasize the m finger and get the bass note with it rest stroke. Once you get that, the repeating m finger stuff is not so hard. But that little gallop is tricky, but if think of starting with the index,like a tremolo, at least I was able to get it going fast easier that way. Here is another good one from Gerardo's other Solxbul in standard tuning: E--5-----4-----0---------5------4------0-- B--0--------6-------------0----------6------ G--5----------------------5----------------- D--3----------------------3----------------- A--------------------------------------------- E---------------0-------------------------0-- This time the gallop is mia, mia, with pulgar and a together, but again, a good exercise for this technique.
