I hope I'm not butting in on a 2 way conversation. At the risk of saying something foolish among experts, I would just like to say that for myself, I find it a very natural technique to rest my thumb on the fifth course when I make a strum with two or three fingers. I wonder if Corbetta did that. 2nd line bar 2 works perfectly this way, making a dom7th. 5th line bar 3, it looks like a dot eliminating the first course which I would guess applies to the last eighth strum too. Eliminating the 5th course here isn't necessary but I might do it anyway. This hemiola cadence makes sense to me: D-D(with lower appogiatura)-A in the 2nd and 3rd bars. I don't get what is painful.
