AndresK -> RE: Picado - angle of attack, position of nail/finger on string (Jun. 27 2021 20:44:19)

Staccato is very helpful. Again remember to relax when preparing the fingers on the strings and not prepare stressed fingers. Instead of thinking anchor, which for me that english is not my primary language, feels a bit heavy (thinking ships and large metal objects on the bottom of the sea), you can feel resting your thumb naturally on the bass string you like or on the top when you play the bass strings. This relieves the tension of the other fingers and gives precision to really fast runs. I cannot think of a flamenco player not doing this, Paco, Vicente, Gerardo, Moraito, Pepe Habichuela, Manolo Franco, Ricardo, Grisha, Antonio Rey, Jeronimo Maya, etc. That does not mean they cannot play picado without resting the thumb of course.
