A lesson on the concept of string crossing and ergonomics on classical guitar and how it relates to right hand fingering choices. In this lesson we cover ergonomic string crossings and awkward string crossings and relate the discussion to finger alternation. This is from my book: Right Hand Fingering for Classical Guitar: Concepts and Case Studies. This book aims to give students a basic criteria for justifying fingering choices and gaining confidence in deciding fingering for themselves. The combination of concepts and case studies offers a framework for approaching fingering in both logical and musical ways. Here’s the Youtube link if you want to watch it there.
This video covers Examples No.8-14 from the book (Page 8-11).
