http://www.guitarprinciples.com In this video I give an online classroom student important information about left hand functioning, and how to increase speed on the challenging 6-1 Major Scale. This student has achieved these skills, and has achieved a good degree of speed in finger movement. So, we are taking on a more challenging scale that brings further development to the hand. In this video, I give him guidance on how to bring further speed to the fingers. I discuss:
What is the most troublesome finger in playing guitar?
A method for training this most difficult finger.
Which is more difficult? Going up a scale or down a scale?
*What is more difficult? Placing a finger down, or taking a finger off?
Understanding these things gives us powerful insight we can apply to ALL our playing.
