Ricardo -> RE: Thumb Rest Stroke with IMA in Arpeggio (Dec. 30 2014 21:12:17)

THis pattern is quite common for example: P/a-m-i, a-m-i, a-m-i, a-m-i, P/a-m-i etc. The a-m-i can always be tirando, but the P has to be rested and held down on the next string and must be absolutely perfectly synchronized, no break apart stutter as you say. It is simply a problem with the mind not wanting two things to happen at once, but it ends up feeling very secure and strong once you get it. Same deal with the i stroke down with the ring finger golpe, takes many students a while to get the feel for it, others get it right away. As for doing picado with a rested bass, yes it can happen too very simply as a "pinching" feeling of both strings. Again it gets easy once you realize there is no physical barrier just the mind. For guitar students from the classical background, I use Bach Borree in E minor as an exercise to practice resting basses and picados. I show then 4 different ways to do it and the results of each have a different expression...later in flamenco falsetas we decide with taste which works best.
