Definately a great accomplishment Romb. Very very good! You could try flatting your right hand out a bit when doing a run, especially a longer one. That will give you more power. What jumps out at me is you're playing the other parts of the tune a bit quietly. So its easier to get the picado to jump out. But when you're playing hard, like in a performance, the picados still have to pop out, and that takes a bit more power. I started to realize that when i see players with good picado flatten the wrist(top of the hand moves in towards the top), its not for speed, its for volume. It gives the right hand fingers more of a downward angle, so the strings are going more into the top. Ive been having success lately also with extending my thumb up onto the top above the low E, which naturally flattens the hand out. You're doing amazing Romb, keep up the good work. Its paying off.
