Re: Week 1: Rhythmic Revelations
@Steve Price you're right, not in the same league than those studies!
But even with simpler works you still have a lots in your fingers!!

Re: Week 1: Rhythmic Revelations
@Steve Price They're not as easy as it looks
... and about section repeats, in AB form I usually only repeat A and not B, and most of the time B includes a full or partial return of A.

Re: "a" finger nail shape
@Michael Shirk pretty similar to Viloteau's one... once you have your base shape it's then easier to build on that. But for sure great tone and sound is not just a matter of nail shape.

Re: "a" finger nail shape
@Tracy neither to me but it has the benefit to give you your base shape easily, you can also do that using the side of a table... good to know you already knew it!

Re: "a" finger nail shape
@Dean @Tracy if you try the Viloteau's technique you'll see with your hand and finger position how the ramp should be, for me the «a» finger has also a small reverse ramp,…

Re: "a" finger nail shape
@Pavel We all have different hands and fingers and don't play the same way with the same position, then the same nail shape cannot be applied in the same way.…
