Duende -I love Chicuelo! Does he talk about tone and such details in the Encuentro DVD? Or is it like the Tomatito one where he just plays and shows falsettas?
Thx

Anyway, I spent some time this summer with a teacher of mine who maintains that 100% tension free playing is impossible. And that brief moments of tension are to be expected. Food for thought.

Am I the only person that feels more comfortable switching to the lower string with the middle finger?

I also like going to my M finger on the lower string even though the I finger feels fine to me as well.
