Re: New stick player from liverpool
Well put kataway.... Full steam ahead!
I play lots of bass... I tune my guitar in all fourths too and I play lots of mandolin
So the patterns on either side were familiar to me
Ive spent a large portion of my time on the stick playing on the inner parts of the instrument... They feel joined up now.
Now I'm trying to push further out from the center ... Then maybe I can try some of this "free hands " business I see talked about so much.
As it is my hands still feel locked together , like one can't play without the others help.... Even just finding tonal centers... If that makes any sense.
I'm not hugely keen on the tone of the melody side at its higher extremities so I'm working on technique up at that altitude to try and help pull my hands apart a little more.
No doubt everything I'm experiencing has already been done to death here already though
