Developing your technique is one of the most important things you should do.
Now, technique means a lot of things. It’s a combination of factors that, when developed fully, can slowly change the way you play.
We are referring to control, finger strength, fingers stretch, volume, speed, tone, rhythm, musicality, etc. All these elements make up your overall technique. Now, this is done over some time.
The exercise I was playing at the beginning of the video can develop pretty much all these elements.
I was playing chords in the form of arpeggios. So I was spelling out the notes of the chords.
The C, Dm, Em, F, G, Am, and Bdim chord as an arpeggio. It’s indeed quite challenging, so I am going to show you different steps to get there.
Speed is not the main goal. This lesson is about developing control, fingers stretch, fingers strength, volume, plucking, speed, and musicality.
So you can practice this exercise at your own pace. I will be going super slowly, and you should do that too.
So, good luck with this lesson.
