Pimientito, what do you think of practicing slowly using the method Herrero suggests and when practicing quickly not paying much attention to retracting the fingers when I is extended? I think that slow practice with the retraction of Q, A and M would work its way into the technique when executing it at a fast pace. In general, I dont see a problem with using his technique if you can get it to work. Personally, I never use Q (little finger) for ANY technique in my playing. This is an old arguement on the forum but my reasons are basically 1. I can't grow a strong fingernail on it. 2. It's comparitively weak compared to the other fingers 3. Rasgeo with Q is weak compared to p, ma, p,p for example 4. You can make all the rasgeos etc. perfectly well with a,m, and i 5. Lots of other players dont use it either including Gerardo Nuñez who has some of the best technique there is. I guess I have been playing a,m,i,i amd a,i,i rasgeos now for about 10 years and changing it at this stage would be kind of tricky...especially now that I can get a clean continous rasgeo with my technique....however I suggest that you can try my way...see if it works for you, if it doesnt look at Herrero or Cepero and see if that is better for you. There is no one true way. As long as you can get a clean, even, strong sound, you can follow, adapt or modify the technique of anyone to suit yourself.
