ORIGINAL: Aaron Lesson re-re-re-re-re-re and re-learned - don't rely on transcriptions. What a cheater that Sabicas [:D] pami is too easy. I am curious, do you have problems playing a longer sequence of piami on the top two strings? I have never gotten the hang of that. But you never see people spending too much time with their thumb on the B string with tremolo anyways. No problem for me. The point about when to do pami vs piami or even longer combo, is tempo. Fast tempos dont' allow a comfy 5 note, and medium slow tempos drag on with the wrong feeling for 4 notes. It is not about "cheats". Anyway, search for "Tremolo" or "flamenco tremolo" in the archives. My advice is learn to do this: iamiP........iamiP........iamiP.....etc, and so you LAND on the thumb on B string and rest or pause for a moment, but do the fingers on the high E string fast. Instead of speeding up the technique, you simply close the gap of time between the thumb stroke, and the next index stroke, until it is as even as you want. many flamenco's don't do a perfect even 5 tuplet anyway.
