One thing I think most aspiring picado-meisters could use is this book: http://tinyurl.com/mwshqmp The Little Book of Talent. 52 tips on how to practice. Nothing about picado, specifically, but about what works in developing world-class skills. By comparing it to what we do, we can improve our methods. It's also very inspiring. Edgar, for what it's worth, I don't think anything's wrong with your LH, the problem is in the RH. The thing that jumped out to me is that your string changing is erratic and there's a lot of wasted and off-axis movement. Most great im'ers have very efficient and machine-like movement; their fingers look like little pistons and are never flopping or flying out at odd angles. But you probably need to model that slowly, going for perfect rep after perfect rep, for quite some time. Best thing would be to choose one exercise or idea and practice that every day for a month. If nothing happens, then choose another one and do that one for a month. The body needs time for the work to really sink in and have an effect. This is where you have to have faith in your teacher and your body.
