I think it's crucial to work out your fingerings and tricky transition points with solo fingerstyle/classical stuff. The leading, or anchor finger to set the new 'shape' is important to identify and mark in the score/tab. Also have to practice it slow enough for your brain to internalize the micro movement of the fingers.

Thanks for sharing this! I was intuitively doing this when trying to play finger style but I thought it was not "the way". The more I progress, the more I understand that I should probably try different approaches to see what feels right instead of just following conflicting advice.

[@robertstone5495]

Great information. I think I unconsciously started doing this while learning your chord melody arrangement for Stella watching how you moved your hands I play it every time I practice. Love that arrangement

[@raria11]

🎸 thank you!

[@bartimejpio1508]

Thank you friend

[@masterbuilder3166]

I learned this technique from Eric Henderson’s study on Moonlight Sonata . Very useful and sometimes absolutely necessary . Jered your lessons are always a grade above all others. Excellent teaching 💯👍🎸

[@ruwe1962]

Great stuff here! When moving from bar 10 to 11, try out to hold the 4th finger, it helps to calm down your hand's movement and enables to move only the fingers.

[@craigdines7604]

Left or right hand, depending on your handedness.

[@soundguitar]

Good call!

[@kuttenberg13]

what is the name of the original song?

[@marceloagustinmombelli3767]

Are you seeing this wonderful teacher leaning towards his left? Wondering if that has to do with technique or is it just my vision anyway. Wonderful video as always...

[@notperfect101]

He‘s probably upright but the guitar is angled like it is often for classical guitar, and the camera is angled to match the guitar.

[@Tatokala]

Is there a sheet for this?

[@hazenclough4212]

Milonga..the o rhymes with go or low or throw. You're saying it as if it was spelled milanga.

[@hazenclough4212]

Good lesson btw - only press lh fingers when you need em!

[@hazenclough4212]

And the fingers that are not in use should be waiting above the string that they're about to be needed on.. even touching the string - just not pushing.
This is in fact the only real way to make it through complex huge big crazy solo compositions without running out of steam in the first minute.

[@hazenclough4212]

We call em 'guide fingers' in the classical guitar world.

If you actually read this, I use your theory videos to help some of my students. Thank you for doing what you do!
