Spent some time this morning working with Ricardo's idea about finger placement first and Pulgar second. Was a bit of a challenge but I'll keep working on it. Last night I rewatched the videos he had posted and then watched my fingers more closely this morning. I find when I rest stroke my fingers are only slightly curved, the picture in my mind is the line drawing from the, Flamenca forgive me, Parkening classical book the one I learned with decades ago. In the videos I noticed their palm was placed much closer to the strings, the first segment of the fingers almost perallel with the palm and then fingers vary curved. Was hard for me to tell when rest of free stroke. I use a lot of rest stroke, it's my power tool, and oddly my Pulgar free stroke will bounce the wound strings off the saddle, no joke. My challenge is free stroke fingers and rest stroke Pulgar. At the same time. Seems I twist my hand to get the Pulger sweep just enough that I get a bad attack with fingers. I'm getting better but frustrating. Like all things slowing down a lot and really focusing on each little detail seems to be the key. Wish there was an quick easy way to post a super short low quality video on the foro? Ok, 30 min post PT foot up done, heading outside to soak up some sunshine, It's only 10f, then into the shop to make wood chips and dust, or as I like to say: turn bigger pieces of wood into smaller pieces of wood.
