Classical guitar finger picking question?

Question

I am taking classical guitar at school, i am stuck on the two string alternation, which is an exercise in which you alternate between the high e and b string, however, i am stuck doing it, because i dont get the finger picking part because in certain parts both fingers end up in the same string so i dont know if i have to do the rest stroke or dont rest the finger that picked at all can someone please explain?

Answer 1

Check your right hand position. Make sure your knuckles are parallel with the strings, and the hand curved enough to avoid the rest stroke. Exercises with the m and a fingers are essential. Check the length of your nails also.
On another note, dampening the B at the right moment is also essential, because it can set off vibrations of the G, and D strings.
Keep on picking.....it's the best.

Answer 2

You have to avoid the rest stroke on the e-string, since it will damp the b-string.
