Path of Least Resistance: When to use it and when not to ? If you find that you're 20% closer to nailing a lick by doing it one way as opposed to another way then take the way that is closer. You're more likely to get the lick sounding better and it frees your time up to learn something else. Doesn't matter if it doesn't seem to 'comply' with your overall approach or technique. If it works in this instance then use it. I rarely ever look at the fingering suggestions of a lick or line unless I'm really having trouble getting it. Most of the time my hand will follow the path it senses 'has the least resistance'. I had a classical guitar teacher in college who told me that your ... arm > body > and entire playing position ... should always look graceful and relaxed. -------------------- - Ken Lasaine

I totally agree on this and as an example There's this lesson here at GMC which I liked a lot:
https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/modal_...irajoshi_scale/ I learned it using totally different positions than the ones used initially - the important aspects? Keep the consistency of the sound - as long as it sounds like the original, everything is cool, REGARDLESS of how you play it You can't work this trick with open strings tho There's something in those frequencies that can't be replaced by anything else. |

Oh yeah, the Hirajoshi requires some weird intervals movements. It's not an easy one to get around but if it's used musically rather than just shred it can be brilliantly effective. |
