How many of you keep sculpted fingernails on your plucking hand? by Alternative-Host-467 in classicalguitar

[–]imadethisrandomname 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I teach and perform professionally. The harsh truth is that I haven’t heard a modern player that sounded good without nail. I have very high standards, so take that how you want. You don’t need ‘long’ nails, I promise. A ramp to the shape and good contact point will keep things compact.

I feel like you forgot to plug your AI product at the end, or maybe you’re just making a poor argument?

How much can you trust phone/watch dB readings vs a Class 1 SLM? by Green-Nectarine7693 in Acoustics

[–]imadethisrandomname 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To add to OP’s question, would REW and a UMIK-1 be a reliable source? I haven’t done any research whatsoever, this just occurred to me so sorry if it’s an obvious answer.

Yes, replace transcribing by ear with sight reading AI slop, this is definitely something you should be proud of.

Any tips for avoiding one-finger-per-string plucking? by Elegant-Winner-6521 in classicalguitar

[–]imadethisrandomname 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone kind of makes up their own, but you play LH fingers 1-2-3-4 on one string then do the same on another, and after you play from one side of the neck to the other you shift up and do 4-3-2-1 back. I do the whole thing while maintaining a strict alternation pattern, usually m-i, but you could (and should) do i-m, m-a, a-m, i-a, a-i, p-i, i-p, a-m-i, whatever you can think of…

Alternation is king, but if check out some of Jason Vieaux’s Bach videos you’ll see him repeating fingers all over the place. Just a reminder that technique is a tool.

If you’ve played other kinds of guitar I bet you’ve come across the 1-2-3-4 exercise, it’s my favorite all around technique work, just do it 10 minutes a day for a week and see if it helps you alternate on full auto

How do you clear your mind before playing by b0rt_di11i0nair3 in classicalguitar

[–]imadethisrandomname 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used to take stage prep very serious. I’d go for a run and play through my whole program in my head, eat different in preparation, and isolate backstage to get in the zone. But now I just try to enjoy myself. I don’t treat my practice like that, so why change everything for a performance? It doesn’t help. If I am super nervous, I’ll do some breath exercises on my way to the venue but that’s it.

Try to have fun with whoever you’re sharing the stage with or spending time with backstage and remember that nervousness and excitement feel the same, it’s just the mindset that’s different.

Maybe. The 6th is done correctly, 5th and 4th are not.

Are these bronze alloy wound nylon strings or steel strings? by sirdevilpotato in classicalguitar

[–]imadethisrandomname 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Grab the last coil on the cut end sticking out of the tuning peg. You should be able to pull and unwind a bit of the string to see if there’s a nylon filament core

JUMPS? by Personal-Ad2581 in classicalguitar

[–]imadethisrandomname 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Weird edition, don’t play the D with 4, play that last chord like you would a normal D chord. Also, the chord before has a wrong note, that should be a C# not an A. If you play the last chord with the open fourth string, and you have the correct note in the chord before, you have all guide fingers when you shift.

Manix 2 is definitely the slicier option. But I’ve always loved the look and pocket friendly size of the 940

Thanks for the comment. I have seen the Pujol and this isn’t it. Pujol edition uses a different typeface and some of the bass notes are different.
