Hi kidje, quote:
both fingers should never be in the air at the same time", but have never understood the logic behind this principle if you want to play faster. Picado is an alternating stroke, so after "m" comes "i" but both fingers are in action: At the same time when "m" makes the impuls for plucking the string, this is same impulse for "i" to go back for being prepared for plucking. So if "i" is making the impulse, this the same moment for "m" going back. You can compare it to a runner. Jumping on 1 leg is less efficient than running with 2 legs. When 1 foot touches the ground, this is the impulse to the other leg to start coming forward and so on. Refering to the fingers it´s correct to say that the simultanous down/up impulse has the most less dissipation loss, it´s the best way to play fluid. The more practise you have the faster you will be. But keep in mind that extremely speed is not important. Pay attention to compás and a good tone. Salu2 Bernd
