That is VERY good question and I'm glad you're bringing it in!
As you said,for legato is probably most natural to keep fingers down, at least index finger cause it's not stepping on the way for other fingers. But when you're playing picking thing are pretty different and might varies from person to person. I examined examples you posted and here is what I found on my side: 1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4... I lift index finger all the time. 4,3,2,1,4,3,2,1,4,3,2,1,4,3,2,1... index is laying on the string all the time but still does some kind of a tiny movement,like it has been following rhythmic. 1,2,3,4,3,2,1,2,3,4,3,2,1,2,3,4... I keep all fingers on the string when possible but now all of them are making this small rhythmic motion,tiny moves. That's just what I've found,it has much to do with our brain and muscle communication/sync. But by all means,if you feel comfortable and not limited by the way you're doing it, then just keep going that way,no need to change one thing. -------------------- Youtube

Thanks Muris, that was a very helpful answer. Unlike you, I'm beginning to lift my index finger on 4-3-2-1 now. But I guess that fine since I should be sticking to whats comfortable. Thanks alot! You're very welcome and feel free to continue your way, there's nothing wrong with it. -------------------- Youtube
