flyeogh -> That picado thing (Oct. 7 2019 15:59:09)
|
This picado thing. We all know we are meant to play imimimim .... or whaever. And surely that should be easy. Once im are walking then they just maintain a steady rhythm. The righthand (assuming righthand player) just moves up and down so the righthand fingers float above the correct string and the next finger, i or m marches straight on in there.
So why, when I play quickly a 35 note picado (little Solea adorno - mini falseta) do I end up sometimes playing the last note with i and other times m?
Possible I played two contiguous notes with the same finger? Possible I did this more than once? In the latter case I might have ended up on the correct finger after two errors! [&:]
My approach so far is to play it slowly. Then try to speed it up. Then, when the error occurs try to slow down just a bit, and then go forward. The frustration is that the picardo with errors sounds great (which when all said and done is my objective). Why am I bothering? "I ask myself [;)] ".
I assume the problem is that moving from say the third string to the fourth gives my subconscious brain the chance to think that logically using the same finger again has a hidden benefit. Maybe old thinker sees that m has just played the second string, i the third. Logically i must be nearer to the fourth?
I just feel this is a case where clearly understanding the problem would naturally lead to the best solution. But all the courses I have just say do it right. Has anyone any reference, or ideas, as to what is going on, and related specific exercises to correct it?
It really is frustrating when it sounds really good but you know there is an issue. Or maybe, with no pretentions of being Paco de Lucia, I should ignore it. Maybe it will sort itself out over time. And I've got a lot more techniques to spend time on.
Any thoughts, for sure if you've cracked it, most welcome.
