Thanks for your reply, Cim.
I'm currently working on Tabula Rasa by Calum Graham (this is very difficult for me but slowly it's getting better) and just started "More Than Words" as arranged by Michael Chapeldaine. Both seem to recommend slapping with the thumb and flicking one of the right hand fingers down to hit the melody note. I can see that the right hand movement is maybe more natural that way but I don't seem to have much control over which string(s) my right hand finger hits. I have been trying to do it by combining the thumb slap with a conventional up-pick with one of the other fingers. My right hand doesn't want to do this but when I can force it do it I feel I have greater control. With practice I think it could become more natural. A couple of other pieces I'd like to tackle that use percussive techniques are Felicity by Sungha Jung and Kotaro Oshio - Wings, You are the hero. These are all a bit out of my range but it's nice to have a challenge! Besides. I find it easier to memorize more difficult pieces than ones that I can more or less sight read. Obviously, I don't expect you to come up with studies for all these techniques just because that's what interests me but I thought I'd mention it as you were asking. Thanks again! PS: What's the gel you were recommending for hardening your nails? My index finger nail is always breaking. Last edited by bvgdez; 06-08-2016 at 03:22 AM. Reason: Additional question as PS |

Have you looked at study 2? It's about different picking patterns. |

If you want to hear study 3 it's on instagram the latest clip. I go to a salon and get my nails done, it's great and lasts long. Many guitarists do this |

Study 3 Looks really good for that technique. I'll give it a try at the Weekend. No guitar until then. I'll have to ask my daughter for help with instagram. Don't they give you a funny look at the nail Salon? But others have recommended that too, so maybe I should take the plunge. Maybe my daughter can help me there too! Tusen takk! (OK, it's probably not Swedish, but it's the closest I can get without googling it) |

Okay, I have added 6 more studies with video so you can hear them as well, as it can be hard reading a vista.

Cim, Thanks very much for the new studies and the videos to go with them. It always helps to know what it's supposed to sound like and see how it's played!
What might be helpful for some (I mean for myself, of course) is if (where appropriate, e.g. slapped harmonics) you could do a very short demo of the particular technique itself in isolation and in slow motion. This is not a criticism, just a suggestion. The material you've provided is very useful as it is. |
