Very nice playing again!  I can see that you are a classically trained musician... or am I wrong?? :-)

Maybe you could post a .jpg of the exercise that you are playing along with the video as it is good to see and hear how it should be played!

Oh thank you for the suggestion! Yes, I have a degree in classical guitar, I guess my right hand is a bit unusual ! 

Comment by Joel Hooks yesterday

Right hand looks okay to me.  You seem to be keeping your thumb forward and not doing the thumbnail picking thing that Spanish guitar RH has morphed into with long fingernails, post Segovia.

That is, unless you are and the angle is not showing it.  I have not listened close enough to tell if you are using nails (not that you can't, just that it is not normal).

Comment by Hélène Beaulieu yesterday

Yes, I do have nails since I like to have a little bit of options for sound, but I prefer very short nails, and I always play with a combination on flesh and nails. I don't like hash sounds!
