Category: Picado Links

Unsorted picado links. They have all helped or inspired me in some way or another.

The common denominators are:

• Short nails
• Use rest strokes, alternating finger “i” & “m”
• Planting the fingers, using staccato
• Practice partly slowly and partly by using “bursts”
• Strive for minimal movements with finger “i” &”m”
• Right hand thumb is placed om the 6th string when playing the three treble strings, then it slides upwards as you move on to the bass strings

Don’t forget the “Read More” buttons. Here you can write comments, and in some cases get more useful links.
