wandles18 -> Pulgar Technique (May 16 2005 10:23:09)
|
Dear all, I'm wondering if anyone can give me some advice on thumb technique. Specifically I am having trouble determining how much (if any) of my nail should be contacting the string when playing pulgar runs. I find if I use the flesh, then the stroke is more unpredictable, often catching on the string and causing me to stumble. The nail stroke seems more predictable. I have several flamenco course books that suggest the stroke should be predominantly flesh but......what does predominantly mean here? The Graf Martinez text seems to suggest a combination of almost half/half nail and flesh. I would very much appreciate any comments. Cheers, Andy
