Flamenco Scales (Picado) by Vahagni 

But classical music on classical guitar also has the Apoiado technique, which are rest strokes. Is there a difference ?

That's my problem sir, when I start with index it's ok but when I do it with the middle finger that sucks. I tried hard but with no succes. thanks in advance for any suggestions.

thanks for watching!

Kuya Kano *Watch Ruben Diaz's videos then.*

@@Feck_Boi ruben diaz?lol

sdiab *Yeah. Goes super in depth into everything flamenco, and also offers lessons as well.*

@@Feck_Boi I took 1 lesson with him and he wanted to sell his andalucian guitars . Your opinion but I dont believe in him at all

sdiab *Really? I haven't taken a lesson from him but I found his videos I've seen to be very in depth.*

Thank you Fabiano, cheers!

It’s a Cordoba that I believe is discontinued now :(

Follow my advice I gave, it's all about the hand positioning in the guitar...if you have tension in any part of your hand that is an obstacle..there is a precise way to play picao and his explanation is very close excpt he did not explain the thumb positioning and the shoulder positioning..look at Niño de Pura DVD explanation at la Sonanta Clases my Picado have improve 8th fold..just by following his advice..Another great explanation is given by Ruben Diaz, he goes into very precise details given by Paco on how should the thumb be postioned and all those details..Hope this help

very slow practice, so they start working as one. Good luck!

yes actually, very much!

@@vahagni How much nail length should one have to achieve a good picado?

@@girishumar6313 Not too long, so that the flesh and nail meet at attack. But its also very personal, Ive seen guys with amazing picador who had pretty long nails, so just experiment until you find the sweet spot!

Ruben Koster if the problem happens when you switch strings you’ll want to look for another exercise to supplement this one... as this exercise doesn’t cover that problem. If the problem is just in hitting the 4 notes and starting with M then you will want to slow down the metronome and do the exercise at very manageable speed... then gradually speed up... this vid does a good job of showing the placement of the right hand in how it needs to slightly angled and the fingers need to be slightly bent so that the “attack” is level... that’s to say that your hand prob moves a bit when you start with M whereas it doesn’t move at all when u start with I... so then starting with M changes your hand posture or position and therefore throws u off. Hope that helps 🤙🏾

+rohan589 Thanks! I wouldn't rule it out:)

great question. So if we have d natural minor, the arpeggio would be d, f, a like a triad. The notes around it come from the scale. So Im starting a half step before the key tone and going to the next note in the scale. thats why for a, in the scale the next note is b flat, and why you get the chromatic pattern. Hope that helps!

Thanks! always alternate.....always:) I had this problem of continuing up the strings with the same finger thats planted when I was a kid and first started practicing picado, it just naturally happens I guess, but its a very very bad habit that shouldn't go uncorrected. A very good exercise you can do is playing 3 notes, i m on first string followed by i on second string, then it will be m i on first string followed by m on second and on and on.

more or less, i come from classical but what you said is more or less how to study scales right. plus, preparing is the key for speed, for classical as for flamenco players. hope it help 8 )
