[E] Hi, my name is Juan Benavides and this lesson
It's about what we call in flamenco and classical music picado, it's a rest stroke
stroke with your index and middle finger and
They call it rest stroke because every time you use
Like
[Am] usually the finger will hit the nail but first
Will anchor itself into the meat of the finger [E] and then release

_ _ _ _ _ [E] _ Hi, my name is Juan Benavides and this lesson _ _
It's about what we call in flamenco and classical music picado, it's a rest stroke
_ _ it's usually a two finger stroke with your index and middle finger and _ _
They call it rest stroke because every time you use
Any of the fingers you will rest on the adjacent string _
Like _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Am] _ _ usually the finger will hit the nail but first _
Will anchor itself into the meat of the finger [E] and then release
_ The force comes from the articulation of the finger _ _ _ _ _ _
We're going to try to do the least amount of movement in order to not lose our axis
Usually I rest my thumb on _ _
the E string _ _ _ _
Of course when we're going up we _ [G] _ _
_ [A] _ _ [E] _ _ _ follow through and
_ _ _ [B] Without changing the axis of the hand _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [A] _ _ as such [Bm] of [Am] course one of the ways to incorporate this is this type of
_ _ Technique is
For example when you're arpeggiating and then you want to do a run for example
_ _ _ [Dm] _ _ [A] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _
_ _ [Dm] _ _ [A] _ _ _
It can be [E] done by itself too _ _ _ _
[Am] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[E] To become fluid with this technique, there is a certain _
_ There's there is a certain learning curve [Abm] and
_ One good exercise would be to
make sure that you
[Ab] _ [Bb] Have independent [Ab] movement _ _ _ _ _ of the finger until you can gather speed _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Abm] _ _ _ You can do like chromatic scales
_ [F] and apply the [G] Knee
[Ab] _ _ _ _ _ _ although all the way down the neck and
[Am] _ _ _ [Fm] _
_ [E] Making sure always that the power is drawn from actually the finger
_ _ Closing so not forcing it.
Also.
There is a force that pushes down before he releases so
Such _ _ _ so when you do the exercise slow _ _ _ _ _
_ Dampening the string so you understand exactly where the finger is at all times
_ _ [Gb] I hope this helps you with this technique.
I want to leave you with a little _ _
_ Fragment for a
future lesson where you incorporate picado and a little bit of the arpeggiation
technique
