Using guide and anchor fingers to smooth out your left-hand moves… so the music sings. Plus, a look at the intro to "After Paris." For more ideas you can use, check out my Fingerstyle Buffet (TrueFire Channel). Get your Free Trial at truefire.com/redeem/channel?c...

Spent many years teaching that exact type of "lateral" movement, using common fingering. Thanks for sharing this.

I've been playing for years now and only just realising that the space between A and B is just as important as A and B itself !

I try to get contact with you via KZfaq...because...I just wanted to thank you for the song ”chicken In the rain” 😀 And the tutorial of the song that you have made with TrueFire to KZfaq!! By watching that I learned that FUNNY song!! It also inspired me to draw some pictures of that poor wet chicken :) All the best to you!! I miss also some videos to your own channel!!! I just feel that you would deserve THOUSANDS and thousands more subscribers!!! ~Matleena~
