mark indigo -> RE: Picado with A and M fingers? (Nov. 12 2019 18:16:17)

quote:
Oscar Herrero explains it in his Paso a Paso DVD Vol.3. He says that A finger is weaker than I and M or thumb. A is used frequently for all flamenco techniques and thus as important as thumb, I and M finger. To create more balanced strength in your fingers, he suggests including A M and A I picado or scale exercises in our practice. he suggests PRACTISING with A and M to work on the A finger, but as I believe there is a physiological issue with the A and M fingers tendons sharing a sheath, it would not be possible to get AM picado up to the level of IM picado. What some players do use though, is IA picado, as these fingers are usually more similar length.
