Thank you very much guys. Tom, thanks for the thoughts. Thinking guides technique, I apreciate this approach. In a closer analysis at my left hand technique, I find vestiges of myself 12 years ago, antiguated movements which need to be discarded. My bars are horrible and I have been putting up with dead spots for years now. It´s simple laziness perhaps, but I want to play clean. I want my bars to sound as good as first position. I don´t want any buzzes at all, many of the good players here play lots of fast chord changes and taranta type stuff with no slop, this is where I want to go. I will certainly concentrate on position changes without sound. And you answered my question about moving the thumb, to move it hardly at all, that makes a lot of sense. Of course, my hand, the hand of a 5´8¨guy is not as big as a 7´6¨guy, but I will certainly try to keep the thumb anchored. Lots of work to do!
