Isaac Bustos: How to Stop Overpressing With Your Left-Hand (Jan 14) Questions / Suggestions
Alright folks, I'm so excited about this and all the other cool livestreams we have planned for the new year! 
Prof. Issac Bustos, head of the guitar department at UTSA in San Antonio, Texas, will be joining us to talk about particularly important aspects of left-hand technique!
He will share with us some exercises that help with over pressing and weight transfer, while also talking to us on a more general level about his broader guitar philosophy.

We are going to be using this thread to gather suggestions about things he might want to touch on, and offer you a chance to ask him your own questions!
- What questions do you have for him?
- Any particular area you would like him to focus on?
Forum questions will be answered first!

Dear Prof. Bustos, in La Catedral-III movement (A. Barrios), measure 31 to 44 (file attached), I find that the part of my palm that is linking to the two left-hand (LH) finger number 4 and 3 are most sored after practicing those measures, because of doing a lot of independence movement of finger 4 and 3 while finger 1 is doing barre' or half barre'. And there are still some buzz if I am not pressing extra hard. Recently, it improves a bit because I try to reposition my LH thumb, and use the whole palm to pull the fret towards my shoulder. I have not completely found a fix for these difficult measures yet. Could you please advise on how to approach to practice this type of difficult measures? Thank you so much. Those measures are attached.

Unfortunately, I was unable to participate in the stream on January 14th. After watching the video, I regret it a lot - I would have some questions :-). Maybe next time.
