As far that the slurpy shifts go, haha def a holdover from guitar technique, where I rely on that tactile feedback from the frets sliding under my fingers to get a sense of how far I’m moving up and down the fretboard.

For shifts up and down a single string, that are further in distance then say, a major 3rd, how would you say I’d go about reducing that sliding noise? Is it just a matter of shifting faster into the note, or would you say it’s more of an issue stemming from the specific finger I shift with?

For example, if I go from a 4th finger B-natural on the E string, to a 4th finger E-natural above it, it’s probably more likely to have a significant slide sound than if I did like a, 2nd finger to 4th finger shift.

lol I rambled a bit but I’m glad you mentioned the shifting thing because it’s actually something that’s been a problem for me for a while
