This group of lessons introduces four new notes and covers five notes in the first position.

The Scores

Studio Insights

📐 Stationary Efficiency

In this range, your fingers have "home addresses." By keeping Finger 1 over the 2nd string and Finger 2 over the 3rd, you eliminate the friction of searching for notes. You aren't reaching; you are already there.

⏳ Vertical Hand Alignment

As the right hand crosses more strings, maintain a strictly vertical plane. This refinement prevents the "swinging" motion that causes inconsistent tone, ensuring your apoyando and tirando strokes remain uniform.

🔔 The Strength Paradox

Remember the Golden Rule: curvature equals power. By maintaining the natural arch of the fingers on these higher strings, you engineer a clear, bell-like tone without having to press harder.

The Play along

I've found that at the begining of the learning journey it can be very helpful to have a recording to follow along. Remember that you can easily change YouTube video playback speed on any device by clicking the settings gear icon, selecting Playback speed, and choosing a different speed from the menu, or even setting a custom speed.
