dreolino -> confused about nails - tone and shape (Jan. 12 2016 17:36:22)

Hey folks,
sry for this really basic topic. lots of things I found in the foro but still:

I am confused. I just heard that when you produce a tone, you first touch the string with your fingertip and then, the string touches the nails on both sides (see picture), and then gets released.

Is that correct? I just filed my nails now for that purpose and I get stuck all the time...

What ya think?

Thankss
dreo

p.s.: btw, a golpe is actually way more powerful and has a richer sound when played just with the flesh, right? When I listen to some pros I only hear the nail which is kind of ugly...or what do you guys do?

I am sure you didn't do it right.

If you have only flesh golpe there is not attack, and NO pro only uses nail. [8|]

;)

Thanks for responding Ricardo.

That's right, I'm sure too that I didn't do it right. But is that the aim to file it like that, that the nails only have contact at the two sides?

For the golpe: So I guess you get the optimal sound out of using flesh and nail at once...



dapperdan -> RE: confused about nails - tone and shape (Jan. 13 2016 9:54:21)

To have contact only at the sides the nail would be a convex shape right? That sounds messed up.

I file mine to give a gentle angle on the thumb side. Seems to work better for me.

Dan.

Yeah, it definitely sounds messed up. I do it actually like you dapperdan. There seem so many different ways to do it. I'm just curious what experienced foro players do it like.
