Review
I. Warmup (35 mins)
Worked on lats isolation. I believe I understand now what it means to have the shoulders pulled back and in a relaxed state.
Note: (See Page 126 of Muscle Control Group PDF for list of muscles)
Note: See Hand Anatomy Animated Tutorial.
II. Music Theory (10 mins)
s: 3:22
E: 3.31
(10 mins, went pretty well, i should minimize slides on the e string.
Focus on Latissimus Dorsi
Notes on Latissimus Dorsi:
- Works with shoulder joints.
- When you have your arm in front of you, it pulls the arm down.
- Pulls the arm down towards the side of the body.
- It helps rotate the arm inward as well.
- They help hyperextension of spine and lateral extension of pelvis.
III. Technique
(S: 2:10)
(Note: not having camera etc. ready delayed me)
(E: 3.20) Tons of time wasted, didn't do thumb movement. Still exploring to get the basic tirando and apoyando - i need to focus on that while I work on muscle independence.
IV. New Repertoire (About 30 mins)
Note: Recommended beginner tremolo pieces:
