David-
Thanks for the video;
Oh yes, I remember those! I did most of them back in my teenage years,
Classical Guitar training. I forgot a few, some are new (to me) tweaks.
You have wandered deep into the Dark Wood of Evil Nylon Pumping
territory- but some of us NEED to do some of that work. Not all the
time, of course- and not hard and fast (Counterproductive, even
injurious if overdone). I go through this kind of woodshedding
maintenance work about 2 to 3 times a year. Oh yes, the actual "Pumping
Nylon" guitar workout book is a very valuable resource for this kind of
stuff. I especially like "Sergio Assad's favorite excercise" and one
called "The Spider". There - I've said it, I do technical work; even
guitar torture. Guilty & not sorry- Judge me accordingly!
David- one more thing; DO NOT REVERSE FROM LEFTY! It's much better for
righties to flop their brains by pretending that they are watching
themselves in the mirror when viewing your work. I first learned to do
this years ago the first time I encountered your videos online. As easy
as learning Italian tab. I got to the point of sensing/feeling a more
direct connection than from seeing th same thing from a RH player's
perspective.
(As an archery teacher I find it a basic necessity to shoot lefty most
of the time as most of my students are RH- otherwise they cannot see
what I am demonstrating & I can't see what they are doing. Good thing I
am a left handed archer; I am clumsier when having to instruct the LH
students I get occasionally).

The subject came up some time ago. This is what I made for an on-line
pupil with the same question:

This is not about speed, muscles or strength. It's about relaxing and
feeling, touch versus grip.
David (and before ypu ask: yes, I'm a lefty but these videos I tend to
reverse)
