Looks like the big knuckle joint is less involved and the majority of the movement comes from the middle joint. But I'm not sure about clawing arps. I heard negative things about it. Restricts faster movements and leads to injuries easily etc. This is Antonio Rey's right hand and he changes his right hand position. Paco's technique will certainly look more like this too. In which way do you play? Looks like, but it’s an illusion due to curvature. Everything is driven by big knuckle, arp, picado, tremolo. There can be some arch to the hand posture more or less, Antonio more, Manolo less, it can depend on thumb angle of attack, but main point is the curvature or hook design of the finger being rigid not flexible. Antonio is not doing a different sound than any other Flamenco player, it’s not what Scott is doing or suggesting. Finally he does NOT change his hand posture or position for the apoyando run...he is moving his freakin ARM up, because the notes needed begin on the third string. Since he maintained the slightly arched posture, he has to move the arm or else his fingers will have to straighten THAT would be a change of posture and inhibit fluidity a bit. Also, the clip you provide is full plant pima arp. The clawing thing is more obvious on sequential AMI arps. Again, the thing Manolo does with less arch, more flat posture, he can play the apoyando or arp or tremolo and reach 3 Adjacent strings comfortable without Moving the arm much at all. To say this posture is “restricting” or “leading to injury”, is totally misinformed.
