Fretboard Bites: Benefits of String Burning

A tip for part of the string changing process. Having had a few strings slip at the bridge over the years, I now burn the ends of the treble strings and often tie a knot as well... www.fionaharrison.co.uk
Fretboard Bites: Workout! Chromatic scale in 8ves.
Просмотров 5072 года назад
How to improve the left hand. Here's a chromatic scale in octaves. It's useful to develop left hand stretch especially if we listen really carefully to the smooth connection between the notes. I say I don't use open strings, but I DO! My mouth said the wrong thing! Apologies. www.fionaharrison.co.uk
Fretboard Bites: Vaseline magic! How to play fast.
Просмотров 5 тыс.2 года назад
How to play fast! Here's a top tip you might enjoy... Have you ever wondered why professionals sometimes touch their forehead or nose just prior to performing a piece? It's to get the grease! A small amount of the grease can help the right hand finger tips glide over the treble strings and is particularly useful when wanting to play fast with cold hands. I forgot to add in the video that I rub ...
Koyunbaba "Moderato" - Carlo Domeniconi Performed by Fiona Harrison.
Просмотров 2,1 тыс.2 года назад
"I had the pleasure of performing this work to Carlo Domeniconi in the early 1990s. He loved the unfolding improvisatory nature of the performance and was hugely encouraging. I enjoyed the way that Carlo suggested to play particular passages twice, or three times if I felt so moved and he gave me the freedom to explore, make creative decisions and move away from the score at times". Fiona Harri...
Fretboard Bites: E maj 3rds Warm up
Просмотров 9202 года назад
A great warm-up to start the day! I often use this exercise to start my day. It's tuneful, warms up up the right hand in a non-stressful, relaxed way and allows the left hand to gently waken up. A firm favourite! www.fionaharrison.co.uk
Fretboard Bites: Develop your left hand stretch!
Просмотров 8372 года назад
A great stretch exercise for the left hand! I've found that some pupils can do it straight away and will use it as a daily warm-up whereas other pupils can struggle considerably. Remember never to hurt the hand - a gentle stretch for the fingers can be good, but pain is not. Think of the long game when developing left hand finger stretch, have patience and keep at it! For other tips and tricks,...

Fretboard Bites: Chromatic Scale with shifts
Просмотров 1,4 тыс.4 года назад
A great warm-up for cold hands. This simple chromatic scale will loosen up the fingers of the right and left hand and allow the ears to tune into the practice session. I place emphasis on legato and beauty of sound, focussing on maintaining a relaxed left hand thumb whilst shifting positions. www.fionaharrison.co.uk
Fretboard Bites: Damping/ Muting
Просмотров 2,3 тыс.4 года назад
Fretboard Bites: Damping/ Muting A short video on how to get a clean sound during your playing, through damping unwanted resonances. I teach many students that know how to do it, yet don't! and I teach many students that would like to damp extraneous ringing on of sounds, yet find it tricky. This basic exercise is an excellent warm-up for the ears and of course fast, nifty thumb work. Plenty of...

    Interesting advice, I'll try it. I'm the type that used to rub his forehead with the RH to moist the fingertips, but the vaseline trick makes sense to me. Also, it's likely that if the fingers glide more effortlessly through the nylon strings, this would make them last longer because friction is reduced. Thanks for the tip! 😊

    The best so far that i have heard. Bravo. Very romantic. Melody very clean, clear, expressive dan legato. Fresh interpretation. Bass and accompaniment chord are clear but not overwhelming. Difficult high notes above 12th frets are also clear and firm. tone and volume in those high notes remain stable. Difficult scales are well executed and clean. Calmly played in Good tempo. The best that i have heard. I will save it and listen to it often.

    I've been doing this for 20 years! lol I swipe each string with it each time I change my strings, and then every few weeks I will use a scuff pad to clean the strings, and reapply vaseline. They sound better, they feel better, they last longer and they genuinely increase speed and general movement. Many, many years ago, I had a set of elixirs which were expensive, then I thought "why don't I just coat my strings myself", tried it and have never skipped a pair since. I also realized I can buy budget sets like Musician's Gear for just a few dollars a set, and after I coat them which makes the metal more pliable, it feels like a set that costs 20-$25. I've shared this tip with countless other players for the last 20 years.

    • @fionaharrison7132

      Hmm I'm not sure I really follow what you mean. I think you can use it on the cogs of the tuning pegs if they get really stiff and need a little attention.
