Hey Guys,
I was thinking today how I can remember various years (13 years of playing) where I learned "something" that took me off a plateau and entered a new realm of my playing. For guitar, it was when I learned the ascending a descending 6th's (the 3 in the bass, 1 higher up).
On mandolin, just recently (which made me start this thread) was striking the string with my pic harder by squeezing the pick and not moving my wrist or arm with more force. Also, realizing how little you need to apply pressure on your fretting hands fingers. Those two have cleaned up my playing all around the neck, and even made me play more tasteful because I was inherently more calm.
So what was it for you guys? I'm excited to learn some new tips!
