Hi, I am back from Spain and Fresno. Anyway, there is full plant (your "anchoring") and sequential plant. It is very important for arpeggios. There are reasons for doing both, and both are legit techniques. For arps or chord rolls that go pima, it is very common in flamenco to do a full plant and have all the fingers ready to go way early (on the strings). Sequential plant is when you don't have the finger on the string until a split second before you play. Usually ami arps are done this way. I have never seen someone do a full plant ami arp, but it is possible of course, just not common. I have seen PDL do full plant pima arps and chord rolls. Nunez NEVER does the full plant, always sequential. Who is better at it? Doesn't really matter. When asked about it Nunez said, what matters is the sound, not so much the way you achieve it. I personally feel full plant is away to prepare earlier and that is a good thing. I do it when I can. Ricardo
