Personally, my goal with the non flick is to make it sound exactly like the flicked ones but with less power. I feel it's easier to include the top strings if you don't flick. I think that is not the goal of non-flick. They are supposed to sound "mushy" and more old-school sounding. The flicking ones are supposed to sound more staccato in that you have a distinct attack by each finger with a well-defined sound with each stroke. The non-flick ones are supposed to sounds more "continuous" like brushing the strings. They are supposed to be two different sounds, and not just a difference in volume. That is what Diego del Morao says in his classes. He explicitly asks for the sound of non-flick to be more mushy and brushing like. That does NOT mean weak or wimpy sounding, obviously. The non-flick ones can be super powerful if you practice them, have been using them for some time, and you have power in your fingers / hand. The non-flick ones I guess in theory can sound louder at the max strength of your flicking, but I think the idea is more the quality of the sound that should be intentionally different with each technique, and not just a matter of different volumes. Kiko - look this topic up on the foro. I have several posts / threads about it with videos. Cheers!
