very nice playing! but i would recommend reworking the technique in the right hand because angling the wrist like that could result in damage to the wrist
very nice left hand technique but lose the pick! the reason for technique s not only for efficiency but for safety as well.. continuing to angle your right hand/wrist like that could cause severe damage to the wrist and possibly carpel tunnel.
hey I was like you too. I played upto Grade 8 without proper technique. Until my new teacher showed me why its done that way. The real thing with bach on guitar is that it's all about working out the best positions with classical technique and it makes it sound 100% better and easier. Btw It is very good the way you play though, but you should defo invest in classical lessons or at least check out 'pumping nylon' by scott tennant.
actually it's a lot harder to play using a pick AND a finger. it's a lot easier using just fingers. i guess that's what's holding you back - but don't worry you got it right! all the best from me!
I know people say technique is important, but to be honest mate, the way you play sounds fine - better than fine, it sounds great :) If you're happy with it, don't worry about what "the book" or anyone else says, just make music the way you want to. :)
I played in this manner before studying with a teacher. If you lose the pick and pluck the strings with your right hand you could gain enough efficiency to play without constant changes in tempo. You need to practice with a metronome.
Oh! Ya, I would like that. I studied with a classical guitar teacher for a year, so I've gained some good pointers on how to play with the fingers... But I'm just so lazy!
Man .. you're blocking yourself... You're burying your skills with this pick in your hand... What is it for? a missing finger?????? the Thumb is VERY important in classical guitar! it gives a different sound... a Bass sound! a powerful sound! here.. you're blocking yourself... practice without it! it might be hard at first but then u'll feel how muuchhhh more practical it is! not anything can be played like this anyway!
I prefer to keep my wrist straight, but don't listen to the others criticizing your technique. I've had 2 classical teachers complain to me (one studied under segovia) to play the way you play because "segovia plays this way and being perpendicular makes for better rest stroke tone blhablhablah". You play the way they were trying to teach me to play, so if you're comfortable playing that way its fine.
I think I noticed someone mention something about your wrist amongst all this cursing... DON'T LET TENDONITIS GET YOU!!! IT CAN SNEAK UP ON YOU, IN A BAAAAAAAAAD WAY! IT HAS SPREAD TO MY SHOULDER OVER THE PAST 5 YEARS.
hey there. please for your own sake keep a straight left wrist. compare this video to any video of John Williams. keep your thumb higher up on the neck and drop your shoulder/thrust out your elbow to keep the wrist straight when your on the bass strings. I just dont want you to injure yourself, and I've worked with the hand specialist clinic and know what i'm talking about. nice efforts and best of luck.
Good Job! SPlendid with the pick in the hand too. I also do this tune on You Tube, although my I use much rubato and trills, but I think the piece is so expressive and I am sure you agree. Do what makes you happy. Kepp up the good work. You know what you gotta do!
