A truly fun way to practice hand movement
You may have seen this exercise before, but if not, check it out, it's a really fun way to practice hand movement, and very interesting musically as well...

Re: A truly fun way to practice hand movement
Greg, when you play it slowly I can see the hand movement. Specifically, I see your wrists moving up/down the fretboard. However, when you play it fast I don't see that as much. It seems like when you speed up you do more finger tapping than hand movement.
Am I wrong? If so, tell me what to look for.

A fair question, but technology has the answer....
You can easily check this out for yourself by slowing down the video using the "settings" controls on the YouTube window
There's no way to sanely play the traverse moves that fast without hand movement. A traverse is when you play notes at the same fret with different fingers. more about that in my Basic Free Hands Technique Lesson #4 video on Melody Movement:
