Hi Bokyung, thank you for this wonderful opportunity. I'm new here, so there may have been a discussion of this question in the past, but since you're here I thought I'd ask. I first learned guitar many years ago and have recenlty returned to it after a long time away. I was taught to hold my right hand Segovia-style, with a high wrist on my right hand and fingers basically perpendicular to the strings. I recently worked with a teacher who strongly encouraged me to hold my wrist much straighter. Doing that really feels like starting over on the instrument. So my question: is it worth the trouble to relearn right-hand technique?

Unable to ask so ask question on YoneBase site to Bokyung Byun. Having difficulty with sore left hand fingertips. Not pressing too hard and have light guage strings. Interfering to the point of no return. Played guitar professionally many year ago albeit not classical. Interest in classical was result of Wes Montgomery indicating “If you learn classical, you can play any genre.” At this point, the physical pain is not tolerable. Started learning classical in 2030, but teacher failed to review lessons and provided no technique instruction. Friend recommended ToneBase. Rhett (female)

What practice technique would you suggest for successfully playing with flow (legato) chords that are to be played up and down the fretboard is pieces such as Carcassi Etude No. 1 Op 60 - measures 29-37. I have challenges with correctly planting guide fingers and then applying remaining notes in a manner that stays in tempo and maintains tone. Thank you.
