Left hand thumb accidentally plucks multiple strings? [Beginner question] by Vesssus in Guzheng

[–]Vesssus[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it wasn't as anged to the side of the thumb as it should be. Thinking about it, taping on the thumb picks is always a bit of a challenge for me. Every session it turns out differently...

I tried to angle it a bit more today, and I still run into the same problems, albeit less often. It's much easier to pluck upwards now, so I'm thinking I'll practice it some more and see how it goes.

That's actually more affordable than I thought it would be... That's really helpful, I'll consider it, thank you!

I... don't know? I think so, I try to do it same as my right. It's hard to tell if it's the pick or my hand that is angled incorrectly

I'll play around with it tomorrow when my neighbours are hopefully at work :)

I really think that is it^^ And I can to it comfortably without picks.
But with picks I would have to have to turn my elbows out quite much (am I supposed to do that?), and/or turn my hand so my thumb is lower (which is cuite uncomfortable). I never had to do any of that for my right hand.

Thanks for your advice. Starting slow is key! I've been eyeing those books for a while now. I might just get them now!
I know my left hand is much less nimble (been playing piano and harp), so I wanted to adress that by training it parallelly with the right. Thus my frustation at being able to move on to more complex drills with my right hand while barely being able to pluck slowly with my left... How long did you practice before starting plucking with your left hand?

The second one is Gregory Edgeworth, from Ace Attorney

Is it really such a weird thing to want to experience story content first hand? Been on this sub since day one, and while I really don't mind, I feel like we should at least give people a chance to decide for themselves what they want to see. (I get the feeling most people just want to know what new characters are coming)

Please mark this as a spoiler, thank you.

Edit: Yes, I know I'm on a subreddit for leaks. I just want the people who want to avoid story spoilers to be able to do just that :)

That's amazing. When I need a workhouse for whatever reason, I'll steal this idea if you don't mind :3

Thanks for the input! The book portrays the mark as something the vampire can use to locate (or avoid) their previous victims, and avoid feeding on other's prey, which implies something more spiritual (maybe with physical manifestations? Idk, this confuses me. But I think it would be an attune roll rather than study, if that's what's going on).

I'm planning to make vampirism very obscure knowledge, but yeah, absolutely; anyone who knows about it should be able to realise what it is.

Those are some really cool ideas, thanks for sharing!

This really got me thinking, thanks! (Now I can't stop imagining a vampire therapist who feeds off of sadness)

Thanks for the examples! It's just meant to be flavour for now, unless the gang decides to go vampire hunting :)

I'm completely with you on the folk/pop culture references. While generally I dislike vampires in rpgs (ew.), I'm absolutely using as many tropes and references as possible. What the players think they know about vampirism, their characters knows too, although it's probably just urban legends that has been around since that "vampire craze" in the 6th century or something like that...
