My only suggestion would be to have the wrist "tucked in" less and the a-finger and little finger in a relaxed position. When using i and m the little finger and third finger can be "relaxedly" curled inward a bit.

Thanks, Rob. Have fun!

I'm rating this 5 because I was looking for an example. I am having a very hard time with this technique. Only problem I seem to have is p-rest and i, m, a free.

Thanks for the 5 stars. Good luck in your guitar studies!

I'm a novice, but I play a bit differently than you do. You pluck with the side of the thumb, almost flush with the string. Also, you put your forearm into it. You prepare for plucking by resting the thumb on the string. I can't do that. My thumb moves to the string only when a note is called for and nothing moves at the wrist or above. I keep the wrist a bit farther from the plane of the strings to get a better angle for the thumb nail.

i think thumb should move, instead of hand

My only suggestion would be to have the wrist "tucked in" less and the a-finger and little finger in a passive, relaxed position. When using i and m the little finger and third finger can be "relaxedly" curled inward a bit.

I actually like to listen to this.
