On the surface, it seems like a good idea to be aware of multiple factors (finger position, hand position, arm position, etc.). But in reality, these "awarenesses" pile up and lead to severely impacted function. A fantastic player is normally completely unaware of what they are doing physically. In other words, they have reached a very high level through hard work and luck. Knowing exactly what those players do isn't something that you can really bring into your playing. If it worked like that then we would all sound amazing.
