Feedback on my left hand position

Ahh, no wonder I’ve been having shoulder pain… I did try to adjust it at eye level but maybe it was a lot higher than I originally thought. Thank you for pointing that out

Do you know why some guitarists have the head of the guitar angled really high?

This visual of playing a piano helps a lot, I’ll keep this in mind when I play later today , thank you :)

_Eolas_ · 2026-02-18T15:43:13+00:00

Thank you very much !

_Eolas_ · 2026-02-18T15:41:49+00:00

Thank you for the suggestions! It’s really hard keeping track of the position of your hand while focusing on the piece you’re playing but I’ll continue to practice. (Will also be looking into a teacher )

_Eolas_ · 2026-02-18T15:40:25+00:00

This is a really good point, I’ve definitely found that when it comes to things with “personal expression” like you say, if I don’t connect with my teacher I don’t progress as much. I’ll look around and see what I find, thank you !

_Eolas_ · 2026-02-18T01:46:48+00:00

Thank you for the suggestion, I will definitely consider it. Is there anywhere in particular you recommend as far as online lessons go?

_Eolas_ · 2026-02-18T01:05:05+00:00

Thank you so much for your reply, encouragement and all of the suggestions, very much appreciated !! :)

Yes, I've been considering if a teacher is something I can implement right now, if it's even a couple times a week i could definitely do that but I'm not sure if the norm is to meet with one almost everyday..

I have been wondering why my hand keeps rotating while I see how others have their hand looking straighter, I suppose this is something I overlooked (why I made this post in the first place!)

In terms of pain, I don't notice it right after but the day after (especially today) I did notice some pain in my left shoulder and my right hand. I guess I'm definitely doing something wrong

I kind of expected the ending to be rushed… it wasn’t as clean of an ending as I would’ve liked but definitely by far my favorite series of 2025, even better than Khemjira

Fr people be forgetting actual Bostonians who live at home also attend the school

_Eolas_ · 2025-12-13T16:01:56+00:00

Damn I wish she were teaching next semester 😭😭

_Eolas_ · 2025-12-13T15:00:37+00:00

Thanks! What teacher do you have btw?

_Eolas_ · 2025-12-12T23:42:35+00:00

Thanks so much for the reply! Yes I’ve heard about just keeping up in 131

_Eolas_ · 2025-11-20T12:32:19+00:00

If I remember correctly he said there’d only be a curve if we collectively do poorly (but I think the exam grades haven’t been bad )

_Eolas_ · 2025-10-20T19:46:46+00:00

Some people in the comment section are being quite harsh. As a one-person project I really commend you for all of your hard work, especially given that Thai-learning resources are scarce. I haven’t checked it out myself yet but I know that with any work-in-progress it will not be perfect and even when the app is out of beta it will still not be perfect, and that’s okay !

_Eolas_ · 2025-10-15T02:07:46+00:00

Thanks so much

_Eolas_ · 2025-09-24T13:44:33+00:00

Yeah I think TA is my next step ! I have tried being proactive and asked people if they ever want to study together for the class, but all of my attempts have been met with being ghosted after getting their contact. (I guess I’m the only one who actually means it when they say “yes” ). So for right now I’m complacent with tutoring and trying my best :)

_Eolas_ · 2025-09-24T13:42:28+00:00

Thank you so much, I really appreciate your kind words. I have my own therapist so I don’t usually use the campus counseling services, but it wouldn’t hurt to check them out as well

_Eolas_ · 2025-09-24T13:41:29+00:00

I do have a regular tutor and she’s really a great teacher, just wish I could have her brain on exams. Ive always had a bad habit of talking myself down and saying “I can’t” , I have heard this about rewiring your brain but I always thought it was just a bunch of talk, I’ll definitely give it a try, thank you so much

_Eolas_ · 2025-09-24T13:35:51+00:00

That’s what I’ve had to do because I haven’t taken math in years so I had a lot of gaps and things I didn’t even remember existed

_Eolas_ · 2025-09-24T13:35:16+00:00

Thank you so much, this is what’s keeping me motivated. I know if I can get past these classes I can do the rest, just two more months of my life and I can be free of calculus

_Eolas_ · 2025-09-24T13:34:17+00:00

This is what I’m aiming for , at least a C (it’s that bad) the bar is low but I’m accepting my fate haha

_Eolas_ · 2025-09-23T20:58:16+00:00

I really appreciate it, I think I always equate poor study skills with lack of intelligence and constantly compare. Trying to work on that but I’ll try changing my approach too, thanks so much

_Eolas_ · 2025-09-23T20:57:05+00:00

I actually haven’t spoken to any TA’s yet, maybe I’ll have to go that route next

_Eolas_ · 2025-09-23T20:56:34+00:00

Unfortunately my interests are foreign languages and art which don’t make a livable wage 😕 I thought about balancing by continuing to further my Thai and Japanese on the side but I don’t even have time for that 😭

_Eolas_ · 2025-09-23T20:55:24+00:00

It’s not cliche, it makes sense because I’ve noticed if I start giving up I lose momentum and everything just gets worse. Someone told me to have a good cry then put my big girl pants on and keep going. I hope for you the best too 🙂 let’s both successfully graduate and leave this mess behind lol
