so at this point the plant is on the next string , so it sounds different because in practising this way the "staccato" is not the important thing, the "planting" is. So leave the top E ringing and prepare the D note. At slow speed it sounds weird, but at speed it's not really noticeable. Just curious about this way of practising, which I experiment with myself quite a bit, so I'm not knocking it.... but where, or who, does it come from? Paco de Lucía? Manolo Sanlúcar? Gerardo Nuñez? I notice neither Gerardo in Encuentro vid nor Niño de Pura in new La Sonanta vid mention it or recommend it in discussions of Picado in technique sections. I asked my teacher in Algeciras about it a few years ago and he said "it's not necessary". They don't emphasize it necessarily but it should be obvious. I first adapted it as a musical thing hearing PDL play with the trio. At first I thought it was his left hand until I saw a video at which point the benefits became obvious to me. I only have seen it taught by Scott Tennant in Pumping nylon with some excellent exercises. I discussed this with some older Spanish guitarists and the name came up that Manolo de Huelva was using this technique, which is going back to golden era. Simple fact is that you can't play without planting, so the idea of the benefits of staccato practice should not be debatable. For KIKO about open string ringing at crossing....ONLY PRACTICE ASCENDING SCALES.[8D]
