Guitar

I’ve been playing guitar for a long time. I used to be a real showoff, sadly. Now I’m trying to actually play well, and hopefully help others do the same.

  • YouTube: Relaxing your picking hand and arm. This is a series of exercises to find “zero tension” while picking. The exercises were adapted from a super piano instruction video named “Freeing the Caged Bird” by instructor Barbara Lister-Sink, so they look pretty weird, but they’re a novel approach and made a world of difference for me. I feel this video is a great contribution to guitar technique, and I can say that because nothing here is my idea.
