Bravissimi!

That is a stupid statement.Classical guitarists don't use often or at all,the little finger because of the cadence and building in musical theory..flamenco uses often phrygyan mode or old dorian mode regarding andalusian cadence and this way the value of the note increases with half of tone.You should practice with the little finger because all of this will speed up the rest of the fingers and you'll feel more secure when playing notes.Try tap on you're desk for 1 minute at maximum speed.Cheers

I am a classical guitarist, the little finger of the right hand is seldom (if ever) used. I wonder why that is. Dionisio Aguado suggested use of the little finger in many of his pieces but Tarrega, Segovia, Pujol and other modern classical guitarists don't use it. It may be the little finger is considered so weak as to be a hinderance rather than a help. It certainly works in flamenco but never caught on in classical guitar.

Don't do the ima tremolo,what makes you achieve faster is individual pick between ring and little finger.Try to make the tremolo by using the little finger.Paco de Lucia uses often the little finger...check out "Guardian Angel"at Loreley with Al di Meola too,and you'll hear a 4 finger tremolo.Of course he is very fast,he is using piami,but you can't see his right hand.If you have problems regarding technique,post you're mail.Cheers

P.s watch Gerardo Nunez explaining flamenco techniques

Yes. Tremolo is three fingers in classical guitar, usually ima or ami (I am thinking of Recuerdos de la Alhambra), with a thumb as the 'bass pedal'. I did not know there was a joint tremolo and rasgeado before this comment, and I can not begin to consider the difficult mechanics of that. Thank you for this. :)

Tremolo is the name in flamenco too..alternate picado is just picado but tremolo in flamenco involves 3 or 4 fingers iami.piami,pia...of course there is a 2 finger tremolo but the 3rd note its a downstroke with the index(rasgeado).You can play in this order of fingers depending on you're musical arrangement regarding musical construction.Cheers

[kaimialana]

In classical guitar that is called a tremolo, and it is indeed amazing. :)

Unless his playing with his toes.I've been studying him for a while,trust me it's damn hard to play that constantly fast picado.Like it's not enough you braked you're bones,you have to understand his music either
