Good transitioning today. Keep that up.8 months ago

Rest stroke might be a bit too heavy-handed (or should I say heavy-fingered? :p) on some of the open strings, even though they’re being played against bass notes. Maybe a lighter rest stroke will suffice.8 months ago

It’s not so straightforward trying to get a good rest stroke with the ring finger due to the awkward shape of my nails… but after reassessing my technique, I’ve found it’s a lot better if I try to perform it by having more of the middle part of the nail play the string. This helps to avoid the clicking sound and the nail getting caught up on the string.9 months ago

Rethink approach to A#/E harmony, so that the B string can ring through. Perhaps don’t barré with middle, but play both individually with index and middle.14 months ago

Make sure you barré high enough with the half-barré, which is needed in order to ensure the high E string isn’t prevented from ringing through. Would help to avoid crazy finger/wrist angles that would otherwise result from barring lower.14 months ago

You could end the piece with artificial harmonics over a nice chord, as well as some lead playing before it.14 months ago

Nail of fingerpicking hand kept getting stuck during rest stroke. I filed it down some, which seemed to help a little; however, I may have to perform future rest strokes with the flesh of the thumb as this has been a recurring problem.14 months ago

Make sure the E on the D string comes out clean here. Need to barré high enough for this.14 months ago

Remember, the key here is to barré not so high up and to keep the index finger as straight as possible.14 months ago

Make sure the high E string rings through.15 months ago

One of the few main weak spots left is transitioning to measure 26. Transitioning must be seamless.23 months ago

Watch out for thumbnail getting caught on the string during rest stroke.23 months ago

I am satisfied with the progress made. It is now time for the assimilation stage.23 months ago

Considerably more work needed here. Refine finger positioning.23 months ago

This was adversely affected by RH fingernails being too short during practice on it today.23 months ago

I do seem to have resolved the problem of the buzzing G string by barring with greater force and directing more force upwards.23 months ago

After improving certain problem areas, it occurred to me that I must remember to make sure I am able to replicate the successes achieved on current gauge 10 strings also back on the 12 gauge strings that I normally use.23 months ago

The G string was buzzing more the harder the string was plucked. Applying greater force with the barré did help to abate this.23 months ago

Focus on the height of the barré; probably should barré lower down. Make sure index finger stays aligned with itself.23 months ago

Careful here.23 months ago

Only slide down from the B to the A?23 months ago

Directing some of the force of the index finger upwards seems to help with getting the G string clean.23 months ago

Work on this to get the timing right during transitioning to it.23 months ago

The buzzing G string could perhaps be solved by applying extreme force with the barré shape, while keeping with the original approach to the barré positioning.23 months ago

May need to barré higher above the neck in order to get the G string clean, but then this may potentially cause lesser problems with the D string. Investigate.23 months ago

The issue of the buzzing G string needs to be resolved – consider barré placement.23 months ago

Remember to make sure timing is correct when transitioning between these measures. Transitioning must be seamless.23 months ago

Break down daily practice on this now. Break into three main parts; practising the two weakest parts separately, and then focusing on assimilation of the entire piece.23 months ago

Try to get the melody, starting on the D#, more articulate.23 months ago

Remember, don’t barré so high above the neck.23 months ago
