AndresK -> RE: Does the finger tip bend back when doing picado? (Jun. 4 2024 5:48:36)

It's ok to bend the tips a little. It also depends on the nail shape and how much resistance you have hitting the string, that has to release even with a little bend in the finger tip.
I have seen many students benefit also in the tremolo from this bending. Meaning, they have to have the movement completely relaxed from the big joint and in order to keep the whole movement relaxed they can let the little joint collapse backwards so not to stress the movement of the finger. Makes the tremolo feel like you are executing it in the air with almost no resistance and stress.
Jerónimo Maya showed me picado without bending tip of the fingers backwards, I also show this to my classical guitar students of course, but then when he played picado on some pieces I noticed clearly that he bent the tips backwards, especially the middle finger tip. If you focus more on the music, with the hands relaxed, the rhythm precise, the sound nice, the rest will follow to accommodate just that, serve the music.
Feel free to relax every way possible. Vicente looks relaxed😎 too no?
