Gentlemen , Zak, WHAT A MAGNIFICENT EXERCISE AND DISTINCTIONS. Allen I noticed that your shoulder didn't tense nor your neck or elbows nor your anything tense. Zak, does that mean that when I press the string , even though I am pressing I still keep the same amount of non tension and the pressure of my finger on the string perhaps can be less gripping? And I noticed that....wait a minute. I'm going to try this myself and be back with you BTW, I bit my dentist. Too much tension in my jaw You guys are becoming icons in teaching music, writing, listening living, and sharing what is in our souls that needs sharing The song I am writing to for middle C to sing. The Line Where I Live is what it's called and of course, and I can't explain why, but all the songs I write are for you Always Jo
