    are you lefthanded or did you swap the sides at your smartphone video recording? Now I cannot specify left and right, so I say: with your strumming striking hand, the movement (fast back and forth) striking hand is interesting. Did not see this so before. And I should this try out once.

    • @actualhumanmeat
      @actualhumanmeat 10 місяців тому

      I'm playing right handed but it's how it got filmed and I don't edit things 😅 The strumming is fun, I have a very strong jelly finger technique (not in the video) also but I mostly play with my fingers and no plectrum these days I've gotten reasonably good at palm muting so in my videos you'll see a very eclectic mix of dynamics where I'm very specific in which strings and what volumes I'm playing them (mute, soft, normal, loud) I get the plectrum level sound sometimes by striking my nails downwards I can try to slow this rhythm down for you so you can better see what I'm doing if you like? =) I want this channel to have a healthy back and forth so plz send me what you try 💪

      I have got to get used to it but it's not purely a "must focus" stress response cos of my brain goo as a large part of me hates the idea of trying to optimise in the attention market on principle alone... partly cos ideally everyone would be so busy chasing random potential and figuring things out for themselves that they would never have need of me or remotely be able to see what I've done as anything other than ordinary I have a tendency to believe that in a sense by watching my tutorials or me explaining what I do I'm robbing people of their chance at independent discovery (which I value to the highest level as you know since it's figuring it out and enjoying that which grants me the juicy nuggets) So it cuts deep into my philosophy I guess and in a way sharing in this way directly goes against my beliefs and practices 😆
