Thanks Herbert. I experienced the same problem you display at the 0:28 mark and have opted to try your plowing technique. It seemed odd at first, but has helped. I have a Cordoba nylon stringed acoustic guitar. Periodically I get muted strings while playing. Can you make a video on the use of the left hand & thumb positioning? I have problems finding a comfortable position w/out holding the neck like a baseball bat. I have piano/basketball player sized hands/fingers, and 6'5" tall.
What happens with me, is when I want to change from C to D, I have to look at the strings and put down one finger at a time and have my finger follow one another. I can't just put all the finger to the spacific note at one time. Please help.! :(
I call that the "plowing" technique. (keeping the right hand in time no matter how sloppy the left is - hence just plowing straight through the mistakes.. lol) because it tends to keep you from loosing the beat of your song. Since tempo and rhythm are the most basic or primal of the necessary parts for music when you loose them your playing stops sounding like music. Your better off chucking dead strings in time than you are pausing to find the correct fingering.
