I’ve also become a dues-paying member of an a cappella group that splinters into many different barbershop quartets. The director of the vocal group has cleared me to sing bass, baritone, and lead. I have a vast amount of singing to learn! And given my zeal for piano lessons I will soon be…

So to just relax one to tap (and the strongest and most independent finger, the index), it just make sense. Coming from a classical hand position, my RH fingers are pretty relaxed, so it’s easy for me to curl the other fingers in while lightly… Read more

I use my middle finger to tap (because I’m holding a pick between my thumb and index finger), and I notice that I keep that finger fixed but supple. My motion comes from the elbow with stabilization from the shoulder.

I stand corrected (although I have personally studied with Pepe Romero in Spain, and I’ve seen him teach slur technique both ways). In this video with the student in the lesson, he advocates power for the descending to come from the large knuckle joint (the metacarpo-phalangeal joint). For the descending slur, this… Read more

If it helps: think of it like this. You play excellent slurs (hammer-ons and pull-offs) with your left hand, very clean and powerful. An effective slur follows the same idea as an effectively vibrating string. The LH finger follows an elliptical pattern both in its downward motion… Read more

You don’t use your RH ring finger. Amazing! I don’t know if I’d ever be able to play that with my ring finger. I really love the index-finger downwards strum, it’s very clean and tasteful. I would likely use some combination of my pinky, ring, or middle fingers to achieve the same. I live a five-minute drive from a… Read more

I’ve been playing in the dirt and planting trees today, so I’m a wee bit too tired to give this a go on guitar. However, I can have a cold beer and get the gist of the chord voicings and LH movement.

You have my Comcast email address, yes? In return I can send you a couple of arrangements that I made back in December of a couple Christmas carols. I used a steel-string acoustic and the open tuning C-G-C-G-C-D.

I would learn that arrangement in a heartbeat, it is rich with improvisational possibilities. I know a horror movie film maker, I can introduce you to him, he plays guitar himself.

It’s so hard to teach people that you must internalize rhythms. The thing is you don’t need a guitar in your hands to internalize rhythms. The easiest way to go, I think, is dial into a rhythm from one of your favorite songs by tapping your foot or drumming with your hands. Once you’re… Read more

I’m as well as I can be mate, and you? I’ve been giving harp harmonics a go…aaaarrrgh! It’s a perfect technique to apply “learning how to learn” techniques to, but it is painfully slow-going. I sent you some materials on the technique around three years ago, were you able to get anywhere with it?
