Technique Week: Day 1: GDEs
⚡ The Short Version
Focus on fingering technique this week with guided daily exercises. Each exercise targets a specific aspect of clean, consistent finger technique. The week builds skills progressively.
Small gracenotes are the foundation of good technique. Keep gracenotes short and crisp, separate them properly, and play them right on the beat for clear, controlled results.
Practice principles matter as much as the exercises themselves. Read music, tap your foot, use a metronome, play slowly, and keep your hands relaxed to maximize your progress.
