NikNik Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 Pretty goo, apart from missing the end harmonics, totally. It's a tenth position finger-on with the index finger, and the harmonics over the thirteenth with the pinkie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This for me is a bit like the emperor's new clothes - everyone goes along with it until a little boy points and laughs. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
