There are a whole bunch of new players, as well as new to the Forum long-time players.
This is a great lesson from Paul Franklin.
Again, thank you Paul for sharing this!! _________________ RICK ABBOTT

Posted 6 Aug 2017 7:02 am Lifting That Bar
|
|
Am I glad this thread floated up from the depths of 2010...
Was wondering how to lift the bar off the strings when playing open?
Is there a way to grip the bar or a way to hold it?
Has to happen pretty fast.
Is this also an issue with bar size to be able to grip the bar to lift it off the strings?
I have a 7/8" bar and find it difficult to do the bar off move without making string noise or dropping the bar.
Exercises for this? _________________ ShoBud The Pro 1

Bump for newer players that may not be familiar with this great drill. |

Guess practice is the best medicine for sloppy bar movements.
I've noticed that the more I hold that bar, the more control I'm getting to keep the connect/disconnect noise down to zip. _________________ ShoBud The Pro 1

Lots of new players lately, it seems. I like to bump this up every couple years. I've printed the lesson out for a couple friends who don't use the computer much. This will always be a great exercise! _________________ RICK ABBOTT

Thanks for the reminder of this exercise, Paul. I'm also grateful for the 24"scale permutation" studies from your Music Masters course. I feel it's brought me to a higher level of control. Now if I could only start hitting the right strings a little more often.... |
