Well, it's not supposed to be pumping nylon. It's supposed to be touching and feeling gut, relaxing your body and freeing up your sound. But you are right in that you see me pump gut. And about the reversed lefty, I've undertood most righties are not so good ar reversing their brains so I've chosen to opt for reversing the video.

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). Dan On 10/7/2017 4:32 AM, David van Ooijen wrote: > The subject came up some time ago.
