ORIGINAL: Rennes After seeing various examples of picado technique, I get the impression that there is basically two different approaches to playing picado. 1. The Sabicas school with a bended wrist. 2. Paco style with a flat wrist. Do you agree?, and if so what do you prefer and why? I think it it depends on your style, sitting position, hand proportions and personal comfort. That's why as for me there are two main "schools", even better to say "approaches", I'm agree with kitarist: 1) that adapts to your proportions, personal style and comfort; 2) that requires copying somebody because he plays/played very good. Playing i-a picado can be comfortable because these fingers have about the same length. But as always, there are some disadvantages: i-a are more far relative to each other (than i-m), picado sounds will differ from each other, tension of a string will be more different on two fingers, as a result you will have dirtier sound of picado. But it is easier because two fingers are bended equally. Otherwise you must bend M finger a little bit more. If you play with a flat wrist, I suppose your flexor muscle will work more effectively, your ligaments will be straight and you can pick the string with a strong impulse. Angle of power will be different, an attack will sound sharper. If your ligaments are bended, I believe it is harder. For example, Sabicas had clear sound and good rhythmical pulse but he was not able to play play with such a strong Paco's impulse. Grisha Goryachev can, but I think it is because of another anatomy. By the way, Serranito plays picado with a-m-i fingers. But there was one russian guy Dmitry Mamontov, he played really amazing a-m-i picado.
