pharkas -> Pulgar Up-Down (Aug. 1 2011 14:07:46)

Hi All,

Just curious if anyone uses the pulgar up-down technique (using the thumb like a pick) for runs that one would typically use picado? I find this to be an interesting technique, with a unique sound that is arguably not as well-defined as doing single notes with a strong picado. The up-stroke attack with the nail definitely has a less clear quality to it, but I kind of like the up-down sound in the runs that I have been playing around with. My thumb has always been my biggest strength, and I have been experimenting with this technique a bit lately.

Any comments? Anybody know of any players who use this technique extensively? At all?

Thanks

Jose Antonio

I love it! I don't see that technique used that often, but I really like the sound. I know some people think the up part of the stroke is weak sounding, but this is a really good example of how the up down stroke can be utilized well. Amazing! Thanks for the video.

I love it though I am far from adept at it. Chicuelo does it quite a bit.

Do you know which pieces? I would love to take a listen to some.

I believe Gerardo Nunez in his Encuentro dvd explains a little bit about this technique, I recorded one of those falsetas in which you use a few times the up and down technique.

I made a few mistakes in it, think this was one of the first videos in which a played a compas lol... before this I had only a little clue about flamenco tempos [:D]
