The fingers will be numbered and named as shown above through out this tutorial.  If you are left handed, just think of the opposit.

    The right hand in flamenco is very special. Although flamenco hand is very similar to  classic guitar playing, the right hand is where they part.

    You base flamenco on what is called "up- and downstrokes" with your fingers.  The fingers on your right hand are named "p, i, m, a, e", thumb, index, middle, ring and little finger.

   In order to play these flamenco techniques fairly well, you need strong finger nails.  For this, you need a professional nail glue that contains pure refined cyanoacrylate and self-adhesive silk.  You first apply a layer of cyanoacrylate and before it dries, you apply the self-adhesive silk.  If you want thicker nails, apply some more glue and repeat this with another layer of silk.  Finally, you file and polish the nails with a 4-step buffer.  The length of the little finger should be longer than the others to compensate the length.
