Thanks, that was useful to watch
any suggestions for tension buiding up because of hypermobility in the thumb joint? without tension, the whole base of my thumb moves towards my fingers, rather than the thumb bending over the top. But with tension, the sound is much worse and brittle.
And it's very hard to release the tension quickly after playing a note - it seems to take a lot of conscious effort/time and 'rearranging' the muscles in my hand after each note even though it doesn't show on the surface! It never seems to get faster or automatic no matter how often I do it super slowly.
