ORIGINAL: orsonw It's best not to ignore it, because ploughing on practicing in the same ways to overcome it will make it worse. As you are discovering it takes time to recover but it is possible- don't give up! yep.. baby steps.. I can play stuff that I use to be able to play at 150bpm now at about 110bpm.. but not picado tho.. cuz i've been focusing all my energy to retrain my arppegios rather than picado... use some different exercises to retrain the finger(s). the reason why I did my exercises as im, a im, a and i, am, i, am; was the fact that my i finger would just curl and if I plucked 2 strings with my im together, m would return and i would just be fixed in that position.. that exercise helped retrain my m finger to guide my i finger to go back to the string after i've played the 2 strings. another thing that i started doing last week was imami on one string, the G or B string. somethings i do imam,imim,imam,imim etc and it has helped my finger to relearn flexing of the proximal interphalangeal joint (the flexing which was unwanted right at the beginning of my problem) properly and relaxing. you and ellie are more much more advanced in skills than I am and i'm sure it's even more disappointing to you guys when you had the problem, but I'm sure with dedication, we can do it! off topic to orson: have you tried La Bella classical strings set (not the flamenco strings set), I heard it's a nice set.
