Some great advice from both of you! Especially detuning the guitar down a couple of tone's,It really helps my fretting hand thumb, which I have a lot of bother with.
As a rank beginner I am finding that sitting in what is the "accepted correct" position with proper hand positioning helps me to focus and does make playing easier, but I am also discovering that it only really works if I can relax and be tension free in that position.
Otherwise it feels too rigid and confining.
As I began to see this, I now try to start my practise time with simple stretching and breathing movements to help me feel relaxed.
I can already say that tension makes it so much harder to place my hands correctly and makes fingerboard stretches painful, whereas being relaxed and tension-free does work better.
Looking forward to listening to this while I'm cleaning the house!
Would you consider doing a few more arrangements of 1. Chord Melody and 2. Walking Bass with Chords?
I'd also love some more Jazz-Blues videos (whether on comping or soloing ideas for really hitting the changes).
Cheers
I did get a couple of things from the good Doctor in between you dominating the interview with your own experiences. 8 min of you in the intro? Maybe a course on interviewing and giving space would be of benefit to any future production? Could easily have been edited into 25 / 30 mins that punched instead of frustrated.
Excellent tips. Thanks to both of you!
Jared do you think a follow up video showing what has worked for you as to strap, physical structure of the body, how you position your body, palm placement on the neck using less thumb,, position of guitar electric and acoustic, etc. would be good to share?
