Important subject. Just subscribed. Regarding the zoom in, I would join if I could, but I have lessons on Mondays at the scheduled time. I will have to do with the recordings.

I completely agree with Joosje and Bill Young. Very timely TWI on this subject. I've been having trouble with things like pressing too hard, maintaining a proper balance in the LH fingers, holding barres for extended lengths of time, too much tension on thumb-wrist tendons.

This sounds very interesting. I didn't notice the time of the Zoom in. Is it on Monday 7th at 7pm CET? I have a Guitar Society meeting at 8:30 CET but I can be late for that to attend the Zoom.

Very interesting subject and definitely one where I can and should improve a lot. I am travelling and internet connection is sometimes very poor, so I don't expect to be uploading any videos myself. But I look forward to learning from Arturo's instructions and the discussions in the forum.

Very important subject! I have comitments most Monday evenings so will probably not be available for a Zoom catchup. Hopefully everything will be recorded so I can take the lessons off line
