Flamenco guitar technique video lesson - Picado. Alternate picking of the index (i) and middle (m) finger, similar to classical guitar rest stroke.

  • WTF is this?

  • @spareaxe It is what it it says it is on the tin. "Flamenco guitar lesson - Picado (rapid alternate picking)." Have you read some of the comments. That would have given you some more clues. So tell me, What do YOU think it is? And just so I can use your comment (and any reply) in my next psychology class, why are you so surprised by such an obvious demonstration? I await your enlightening answer.

  • Do you have both fingers hit the String At the same time? Or are you alternating?

    ???

  • @gonnaeacha I guess that's why I made this video. Have a close look and you will see that only one finger hits the string at any one time. It's like walking. One foot after another. When one finger (foot) touches the string the other lifts off. How can you walk with two feet on the ground at once.

  • Really helpful. Thanks man.

  • i guess i'd better get out of bed

  • @spareaxe it's fucking hard that's what it is lol

  • hey man, i have a doubt... when i am doing picado for a long time i get this pain in the right part of the right arm near the little ball...is it a failure in my technique or its only a temporary pain ?

  • wow ive been trying to pick without resting on the above string...this makes it easier... thanks dude

  • thanks for the vid. I have a question/ doubt for you, and i wonder if this has happened to anyone else. When I play this technique with rest stroke, what happens to me is that I play it normally on the way down, but on the way back up I use the middle finger, dully on an even stroke, but when I move a string up I repeat the middle finger stroke since I find using the upward motion of the hand much more efortless. But overall I guess its not a very "clean" approach. Thanks!

  • @hersoveela you can jump with 2 feet xD
