The hardest part for me is just having the movable anchor 2 strings away...like how he says to put it on B when playing on the A string. My hand naturally wants to put it on the E when on A
I have one problem with this technique and that is that when I "go to" a higher string my thumb hits the string I anchored it on before I moved it to it's "new" position, can anyone give help me with this? What should I do to prevent my thumb from hitting the string I anchor when I am going to anchor it on a higher string?
@Salvadorinvincible HI! Its hard to explain on a message..but the best way is to break down your playing, and look carefully at your right hand as you do this shift to the new position, and VERY slowly, see and create the path your thumb needs to take, in order to not create the undesirable effect. Then you need to repeat this, very very slowly. It sounds obvious and tedious..but this is the best way that our brains respond to learning a new, or adjusted technique. PM me if you need more help!
I wonder if this guy is related to the Gangster and bootlegger Frank Nitti from the 30's? I used to use anchor points like this but now I use my thumb to damp the strings. I lay my thumb on the strings, something I learned from watching Gary Willis videos I believe. I also use the technique to play harmonics.
Thank you for being so thorough!!Any Vid's on Right hand?..Thanks again!

10 minutes to explain something that would take 2, it's boring.

Leaving one string in between is the best tip I've had in a while. I'll try that later!
Thanks!
