Do you know how to improve your slurs? Do you know the correct technique? Do you know the best left hand position during slurs?
If you answered no to any of these questions you should watch this video. I found the exercise given at the end of this film so useful, it doesn't just improve your slurs but strengthens the left hand too.
I hope this helps you develop your technique. I certainly wish I knew these things when I was a student.
This is the fourth in the series of short tutorials. Lots more to come, check the others out below.

Nice demonstration and clear explanation! Thank you, maestro.

Thanks Richard.

I'll add that Carcassi's op. 60 no. 4 is a legato-oriented study that helps a lot and is pretty enough not to bore you after a week's worth of practice.

@gabriel222 5 лет назад

Fantastic exercise David! It is a technical area that challenges me and holds me back so I look forward to incorporating this into my warm up ever day as I much prefer practicing with fixed fingers in place like this.

@davidjaggs 5 лет назад

And remember not to overdo it! Look after your fingers.

@geoff3725 5 лет назад

This is magic and arrived at a very opportune moment as I have been learning Adelita the past two weeks and it is riddled with slurs.I am badly in need of these exercises.Thanks once again David.

@davidjaggs 5 лет назад

Glad to help!

@davidjaggs 5 лет назад

There's a hard slur in Adelita. . Up in 7th position. .

@thethingonlymalehave 5 лет назад

Great excercise! I would like to make the addition that slurs are so much easier if you aim as close to the fret as possible, in practicing it helps to just slightly touch the fret with your fingertip.

@davidjaggs 5 лет назад

Good tip..thank you.

@mattie5161 5 лет назад

That's a super exersise,,,,make the fingers work without help from the others, wouldn't have known this so will be doing this one!! By the way I'd like tips 'n' tricks on tone production,,, ive always found rest stroke a bit tricky so play mostly free stroke and produce quite a harsh tone & can't seem to help it! I know it's a wide area but, any hints would be appreciated! Thanks. Matt

@davidjaggs 5 лет назад

Hi Matt. The next tutorial may help you.. it's about nail shape with a very special guest!.

@AlanMcCarthyguitar 5 лет назад

Great video David and you have great technique ,its easy to over do exercises tho is nt it ,there are so many techniques to master ,I find it difficult to to find balance between technical work and pieces ,whats enough of either !!?

@davidjaggs 5 лет назад

We tend to avoid our weaknesses. Try choosing a study that tackles a weak point of your technique and really slow things down and improve it. You must keep playing pieces you enjoy too.. it's an ongoing thing. None of us ever get there. I know I haven't!

@hni7458 3 года назад

Thank you kindly David. Terrific exercise. I believe in taking the best variants from slurs, arpeggios, scales etc and go for them, WITH concentration AND focus on target during max 20 minutes EVERY day, possibly with repetition after short rest if needed - NB a rest without distraction, so no Net surfing. I am of the opinion that many, incl myself, have been under the burden of many so called schools, and indeed comments from Maestros like Mr. S, saying "Any aspiring guitarist need to devote at least 2hrs a day to scales in all possible keys", and please observe carefully that this last sentence must be pronounced with an Andalusian accent. Please comment will you mate!

@davidjaggs 3 года назад

I don't see the point in scales in every key.. piano yes of course. Guitar..you just move up a step and only need 3 patterns. My teacher.. MB, (Cuban American accent) said during his college years he would spend periods of time concentrating on each technique.. when he felt he'd significantly improved he'd move to another. It makes sense.. the other way of all techniques every day will tend to dilute and not see as much progress. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching!

@hni7458 3 года назад

Pardon the last implication David, but this is my honest opinion. Without the RU-vid videos, and here your - and tips from one or two personal acquaintances I would never have got this far after having played the guitar over seven decades. And I think that a King like Mr S must be possible to question, otherwise we are not free commoners.

@hni7458 3 года назад

Oh Barrueco, David. Lucky you, he is really great :) He's one of the people I am looking up to!

@flybytiger6771 5 лет назад

Thanks for the demonstration. I would recommend to introduce a video of the pull-off from the perspective along the fretboard, to see how the finger tip works. Is it just the finger tip or part of the nail, does it go parallel or moves it a little bit up or down? Best regards Peter

@davidjaggs 5 лет назад

Thanks. Definitely just finger tip pulling down. You need to see my Sor study 11 tutorial!

@flybytiger6771 5 лет назад

@ClevedonGuitarMan 5 лет назад

Another great lesson David. I missed this yesterday, but suddenly realised I had the notifications bell disabled. I'm curious, do you play the electric much? I never really got on with a pick. How do you find going from CG to electric. Sorry, that's a bit off topic.

@davidjaggs 5 лет назад

I used to enjoy it but haven't played for years.. that clip was in a friends studio.. I couldn't resist a blast and he filmed it!

@GUFSZ 5 лет назад

Advice for beginners. Try slurs in the fifth position on the g or d string. Because there it is more easier to create a sound. Creating sounds on the e string in a low position can be frustrating for a beginner. To understand the movement of a slur down. Touch with your fingertip the g-string. Do not press down the string. Now simulate an apoyando stroke, so the finger is landing on the b-string. I would say, beginners should be very careful to the shown exercise in the beginning. In my opinion the should look for more easier exercises.

@davidjaggs 5 лет назад

Possibly true.. it is an intermediate exercise and you should not over practice this.. once or twice a day. Thanks for the input!

@JVDAfghan Год назад

Good lesson. What number exercise is it, please?

@davidjaggs Год назад

It's just one off exercise shown to me by Manuel Barrueco. There's no number or set. I hope you find it useful.

@widowsson1478 4 года назад

After a year of practice, I still cannot keep from pulling the 1st string off the edge of the fingerboard on descending slurs.

@davidjaggs 4 года назад

Could be the angle you are pulling the string at.. or... the guitar. Try on a friends

@nosy-cat 9 месяцев назад

I'm having the same problem, my teacher told me to stiffen and press harder on the finger that's holding the fret below. Can't say if that's the solution yet, but I do feel it really helps. Of course, as David said, the guitar itself could be holding you back. This problem was way more pronounced on my previous, cheap guitar.
