Hey, all you gang of pros! I need some serious technique help for my left hand! I have found out that when I play barr chords during a falseta (or whatever, using a barr chord), and while trying to hold a particular chord while playing indivual notes within the barr chord, I have a REAL BAD habit of raising my 3 finger to high, thus making my playing even more lousey than it already is!! Say, for instance, when I practice picado, thumb, or what ever technique...when I finger 1,2, 3, 4 it's ok...my 3 finger stays low, HOWEVER, when I practice the same technique going from 4, 3, 2, 1 (backwards) my 3 finger is always LIKE 7 INCHES TO HIGH!! I know this must be something to do with the muscles of the hand, and I try to concentrate when I practice on the fretboard/scales to keep the 3 finger of the left hand close to the fretboard, but I always find my 3 finger way to high when I have to play from the 4 finger down to the 1 finger! The 3 finger of the left hand is not a problem when I play 1,2, 3, 4 or any combination therein, the problem (a serious problem at that) is when I have to play anything that requires me to play notes from the 4 finger to the 3 finger to the 2 finger to the 1 finger! My 3 finger is always raised to HIGH! I cannot seem to correct this by myself, and I don't have a teacher, so does ANYONE know how I can correct this bad techinque? I would really appreciate it if someone could give me an exercise or some advice on what I'm doing wrong! Thanks, Merle P.S. I hope this post makes sense...
