Or if you mean you get stuck somewhere Thanks. Yes, from same problem, I meant my thumb catches some string (usually 4th, D string) . Problem is definitely rigidity, If I go slower and consciously loosen the thumb at big thumb joint then that helps however as I try to speed up, after a couple of good rolls thumb gets stuck. I try to experiment with variations... P up, ma down, P down P up, m down, P down P up, a down, P down (sometimes this variation helps a little bit but not very consistently) shortening the thumb nail to almost same level as skin at tip also helps a bit but then that ruins Pulgar and Alzapua . Eventually I stopped paying attention to Marote(hopefully it will get better by itself) and started focusing more on improving the Abanico (a down, i down, p up) which produces softer sound but at least doesn't have mentioned problem. I also have seen Ricardo mentioning on foro at times that Marote is overrated and Abanico is actually more frequently used. Beginners (including myself) tend to get obsessed with Marote but other techniques are more important and should be given more time by beginners.
