This is a great warm up exercise for players of all levels. I especially like the stretching exercises, as this is very important. I always like to stretch my lower body as well because I earn my living sitting in front of a computer all day.
That's great, Tony! We have a set of stretching exercises with Simon's wife Evita (a Lindy Hop dancer) at CGC Academy. It's important to be stretched out, even more so for those of us who work at a desk all day. Thanks for your comment! -Dave B
I find as an aged player now, stretching the hands and warm up so important. I have always used some simple classic pieces to get the fingers and mind moving. Over the years, hand health becomes a concern. I find now playing daily really helps and when I don’t, warm up takes longer.
If you turn your hand so the nails of your fingers are more perpendicular to the string you get a more direct sound with much less scratch on the bass strings. Your thumb should be shaped in a way that allows it to move through the string effortlessly without any scratching sound. If it's too long it will often get that same scratchy sound.
Fabulous, thank you very much for this. What would you suggest for extending this routine a bit ? Maybe i and a alternation ? Some trills maybe ? What do you think about a tremolo increasing in speed ? Maybe some Rasguedao ? Also, I haven't watched you in a while so I am not up to date. I hope this is not too personal, but I hope your cancer got better. Nobody deserves such fate. But your reaction was a really touching example for me as a young person. Carrying on with what you love. Living life to its fullest. Continuation of the life you have lived as a sign of contentment with how you lived up to that point. Thanks a lot for enriching the world and setting a good example
A nice gift for everyone Simon!
Especially the ability to practice along with you. You're a fantastic teacher !!!
Very kind of you, Franco
Thank you for this, Simon. As always, articulate, concise and put together.

Thank you sinom very informative and the control is very much appreciated 🎶🎶🙏🙏🌹
Well Done! This is a very good framework to follow as is, or to build on and tailor to one’s needs. For myself, I prefer the metronome to be on 40.

How do you prevent scratching noise on the bass notes when plucking with p and m?
If you turn your hand so the nails of your fingers are more perpendicular to the string you get a more direct sound with much less scratch on the bass strings. Your thumb should be shaped in a way that allows it to move through the string effortlessly without any scratching sound. If it's too long it will often get that same scratchy sound.
