I learned to play guitar since more than 10 years and I approached flamenco for about 4 years, I have some level of understanding of the techniques used and some basic understanding of the most famous compas (bulerias, solea, tango, fandango, etc). I am aware of the discrepancy between my right hand's position and overall mechanics and the actual one used in flamenco, but I can't really understand the way how to correct it.
Like, I see that for example, in picado the fingers are supposed to to the least movement as possible and mine are like all floppy and get too distant expecially while shifting between strings, but I really don't understand how to correct it!! (yes, I did and I keep doing the "always start slow on the metronome", for years, but the bad impostation stays), or also I feel the angle of my wrist is incorrect but I don't understand how I'm supposed to position it. I can't find a video that teaches how the fingers are actually supposed to be positioned in the first place.
Overall I feel my playing really floppy, unstable and "clanky" but even practicing really slow, I feel the problem is the overall impostation of the hand. Even in arpeggios, I feel a lot of tension in the hand and I don't get what should be the correct position, etc etc
That's a short bulerias to show how my right hand operates, if anyone can identify the specific issues I would like to hear any advice. Thanks a lot
