When practicing the scales I am bothered a lot with overtones ringing by sympathy. I would like to know if you leave them ringing all the time or if you try to control them with your thumb when you use rest strokes and free strokes. If you do have a method to control the overtones in both types of strokes it would be great to have a detailed video lesson on the subject. There are a lot of Segovia scales videos on UA-cam but I didn’t find one showing a detailed way of keeping these overtones under control.
Thank you for your question, Pierre. Overtones by sympathy indeed are an important question. I personally in my playing control those notes depending on the harmonic situation I'm in. When playing scales as such firstly they don't bother me; at the contrary you can learn, which keys are more responded by the bass strings an which are not: that's one of the secrets of the guitar sound related to the leys. Letting them ring is the guitars right piano pedal, and as such there is necessity to know how to play without the pedal. I mostly stop the Bass strings with the right hand thumb; I don't play too much rest-stroke, but occasionally I use that trick, too. The high strings can be stoped with the left hand fingers as a "false barre". Good suggestion to make a video on that. When you have other additional suggestions in pieces where you meet that issue, let me know! 🙂
Thanks for sharing this one! Excited for what you have in store for us in upcoming videos. Keep up the good work! 🎶🎸🎶
Thanks a lot, and stay tuned!!! ;-)
Love these videos. Can't wait for more!
Thanks a lot! More to come every week. ;-)

Segovia scales are good for position shifts like the crazy b melodic minor to learn phrasing. And making no noise doing it.
