It is all about getting those LH hand fingers moving fast-through different speed bursts. Below is the music for this short video. This idea can be transplanted to any section of music where speed is an object.<\/p>\n<p>Get the dots below with a free download.<\/p>\n<h3>KEY Strategy<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Slow, then fast; fast, then slow. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>With a metronome which then speeds up incrementally. Hit the wall where it breaks apart, drop down (pulse) and start again. Every day for 5 minutes no more, see where you are at the end of a week.<\/p>\n<h3>Other Info<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Note<\/strong>: LH fingering of the A major chord is the flamenco guitarists&#8217; way-half barre with a 2 finger. This fingering is there to facilitate that fast shift, using the 2nd finger up and down string 2.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Secret<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>No sliding or even noises in that shift. Jump it or&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Use the 2nd string as a monorail up to fret 10 &#8211; lift the finger and glide it on top of the string.
