Chapman Stick Learning Journal 16

A short week but some good progress.

I was struck again yesterday by just what an amazing instrument this is. I like little moments like that to help remind me what I'm working towards. :)

Hi Dan,

If I may make a comment. The reason you're having trouble in the left hand is that you're not following the finger symbols for the left hand chords. To comfortably play them as sustaining arpeggios you need to reverse the 2nd and 3rd fingers (as written in the book:)) almost all of the inversions, 7ths chords, etc are played 1/3/2. See 3-1 and 3-2 of The Stick Book for more on this.

Otherwise, I think you're making great progress. Happy Tapping, Greg

Hey, Dan. It's great to see the progress. I looking forward to joining you in posting videos of my progress this summer. You are an inspiration, sir!
