Yeah I've had the same problem with paper. Just pops off, and of course it always pops off at the worst possible moment...

I recently switched from using formaldehyde enriched nail varnishes to Super Glue. On the whole it's been a good change - dries faster and harder. But practicing patterns with this technique I'm having to patch up chipped lost glue patches every 10 minutes or so. Is it normal? How do you guys working a lot with dancers get through classes / gigs without constant regluing?

Krazy glue type stuff goes bad fast after opening it, just like food. When it starts to spoil it will flake off easy as you describe. Next the viscosity becomes like jelly and it no longer dries very hard. To prevent this you need to store it in a plastic sandwich bag. And even still after a few weeks it still goes bad and you need to discard as soon as you notice this flaking start.

Thanks again Ramz! You're video has helped a lot. I didn't realized my wrist was so far out making my whole hand perpendicular to the guitar. Being more parallel and closed in is helping, I'm not as fast but it feels more controlled, like I'll get farther quicker.
Three cheers for Doctor Flamenco!
PS I had to ask my Occupational Therapist girlfriend what all that jargon you used was. hahaha

Now that I think of it, that explains why I can palm mute slayer riffs at 1,000 mph and couldn't do this, my whole hand is parallel when I do that.

My pleasure.

Another question about this technique. Been practicing this for an hour a day this past week. Is the motion supposed to feel more like wringing the wrist, where the hand is pretty flaccid? I seem to hit a limit of 32nd notes at 60bpm.
