It uses a static note, in a lower position, so that the focus is the RH. The idea is to focus the energy of the stroke onto string 5, and then lightly play string 6. As the melody should be the most prominent in this section.<\/p>\n<p>The micro study begins simply with a static note, it then adds in a another 3 frets, and keeps adding a fret, away to practice the stretching required in section 3 of etude no. 12. Each one of those bars can be isolated for extra practice.<\/p>\n<h3>KEY Strategy<\/h3>\n<p><strong>RH Fine Control<br \/><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The fine control here is developed with awareness of how much energy is required to play the first note, and then the ability to adjust it for the following. This takes dedicated mindful practice. Rest strokes are key to getting this fine control, learn to adjust your stroke from string to string. This is a fine detail technique.<\/p>\n<h3>Other Info<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Note<\/strong>: The tone needs to even, so make sure that the open strings do not pop out of the texture. The main melodic idea here is the bass line.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Secret<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Old School RH<br \/><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The RH wrist will need to adjust as it will not be able to use the thumb as an anchor here. The RH needs to be stable in this section, with an old school Segovia style angle to the strings, first to adjust for the finger lengths, and secondly to lesson the nail noise on the bass strings. Do not play mindlessly here.<\/p>\n<p><strong>And Remember: use I A, or I M<br \/><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>Want More?<\/h2>\n<p>Check Out Approaching Villa-Lobos Etude No. 1<\/p>\n<p><blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"6MJ2pR1myT\"><a href=\"https:\/\/classicalguitarrocks.com\/cgr\/approaching-etude-no-1-villa-lobos\/\">Approaching Etude No. 1 Villa-Lobos<\/a><\/blockquote><iframe class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);\" title=\"&#8220;Approaching Etude No. 1 Villa-Lobos&#8221; &#8212; Classical Guitar Rocks\" src=\"https:\/\/classicalguitarrocks.com\/cgr\/approaching-etude-no-1-villa-lobos\/embed\/#?secret=csOAn9poAZ#?secret=6MJ2pR1myT\" data-secret=\"6MJ2pR1myT\" width=\"500\" height=\"282\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h2>#villalobos12in12! what is that?<\/h2>\n<p>I bet, like me, you want to play all 12 of Villa-Lobos&#8217; awesome studies?
