Antonio said the same in a class a few years ago. He was asked how he practiced so many hours without hurting himself, and he said he practises very lightly. But, when he plays, it's a bit differrent. There was no amp in the class, and his playing doesn't lack volume. I'm sure a lot of that is great technique as opposed to physical effort. Recently in a class with Tino, he asked me a play a Gerardo bulerias falseta several times, until I dialed in the best tone, and the best expression, which occured when I played it much lighter than I could, and usually would. I told him my first teacher was super old school, and he played pretty hard. I said it was a constant effort to figure out how to play a given thing at the best volume and he said it took him 30 years to figure it out himself. quote:
ORIGINAL: zendalex quote:
My advice is to play very lightly. As lightly as possible. Volume and power comes from technique, not physical effort. that echos what Antonio Rey said himself, but his was a response to "how you practice such long hours and don't injure yourself". So I guess works on both counts.
