de Almeida -> RE: RESTING MIDDLE & RING FINGER ON SOUNDBOARD WHEN PLAYING WITH THE THUMB (Jul. 26 2005 21:43:13)

you will need to adjust your technique... you need to have the wrist doing the movement.. it's all linked together, alzapuas, rasgueados with the thumb, these use the same sort of wrist movement you should be using when you play just with the thumb. in fact the movement is actually a combination of movement of the wrist and thumb - a harmony really.. and it will take a long time to get it really good. flamenco is not something that can be learned just from the score of a solea. you have to watch people play it (preferably your teacher, but DVD's can be quite good).. you have to watch the movements over and over.. you will realize that the great sound that comes from the guitar is a result of the movement.. and movement of the wrist. it is one thing to be able to play through the score, but entirely another to play it very well! and watch and listen to different ways of playing. as many dvd's will show, there are so many different ways to play with the thumb, and the different guitarists who make the dvd's have different styles, different ways to accent, etc.. but they will all tell you: it's all in the wrist you definitely need to pick up the gerardo nunez dvd+book. it will be the best $110 you ever spent. (at least on flamenco!)
