Hi everyone,
Feedback
I just finished watching synchronicity. At least all of what is there already. I must say I really enjoy the approach and the production of the seminar so far. Of course, the heart-piece of the seminar, where the two hands get combined, is still missing, but I read that they are working on it, so Im already looking forward to the third batch here!
Question 1 - Proprioception
Left Hand - Chapter 12, Tommo introduces a concept called Proprioception, which essentially means, to my understanding, faster learning and better finger seperation through bigger motions.
There he said at around 02:20 min, that small motions are bad for getting the timing right, because the fingers only travel a small distance, which is not optimal, because there is “little time to adjust”.
I dont understand the point here. Does it mean that if the finger does larger movements, we have the chance to change the moving speed of the finger while it already moves, and by this we can better adjust when the finger actually hits the fretboard?
Question 2 - Fingercombination 134 Issue
I have always really struggled with the finger combination 134. For instance for the minor shape, I always use 123. For very low frets that’s also not really comfortable. I wish I could improve on the 134 combination but I have been playing for 8 years now, and I have always struggled with that finger combination.
Is that even something that is worth working on? I have always struggled with 134 and according to the “easy win” strategy, I dedided to just ignore this problem.
