ToddK -> consecutive thumb strokes and speed (Feb. 28 2009 14:55:31)
|
Sorry, but the search is not working for me today. Im doing pretty well with my right hand progress, but there are some things that im having alot of trouble with. One big one is being able to do 2 and 3 thumb/down strokes quickly enough. I dont like the sound, or lack of power when i try to use a thumb upstroke in a single note thumb line. After over a month of trying to get 2 thumb strokes in a row at a rate of say, 16ths at 140bpm, im just getting nowhere. Ive tried slow practice, not allowing myself to try bursts for a few days, then trying to cresendo with the metronome, and it aint happening. Most other techinques are going rather well, so it feels really frustrating, cause when i reach a part in a falseta where i need to do a 2 or 3 note burst with the thumb, i suddenly feel, and sound like i just started playing the guitar yesterday. Can anybody give me any insight as to what i might be doing wrong, or maybe what im thinking wrong? Thanks! TK
