Lesson
n°12: Right hand - Playing with 4 fingers
|
|
|
The 4th finger is positioned following the previous ones, the same way as the forefinger and the middle finger. Notice that no finger is sticked to another one. The 5th finger is not used (too weak) and remains, if possible, folded up inside the hand. This little finger mustn't be up (as if drinking a cup of tea!) because this way, the hand is tensed unnecessarily. |
|
|
When you play the thumb (called finger 1), it folds up inside the hand on the forefinger. All the other fingers stay as they are. |
 |
|
The 2nd and 3rd
fingers, played in this order, fold up inside the hand with the 5th
finger.
|
|
 |
When you play
the 4th finger, it folds up inside the hand with the other
fingers. The final position is a clenched fist.
|
|
 |
Opposite view:
notice the angle between the thumb and the forefinger remains the same.
