Subj: [kl] another type of slide
Date: Sun, 31 Mar 2002 01:04:08 -0500

There have been questions about the passage C# down to low F# then to low
G#.
I propose another way of doing this.
First: one has to practice going from C# down to Low F# with a quick
movement of the Left little finger.
Almost like trying to slide.
One can get quite good at it, but there is always a little blurb before
hitting the low F#.
The trick is: when the slide is almost perfect, then one slides the passage,
and the SAME time take the F# with the Right.
In other words, the action is simultaneous.
The motion with the Right hand little finger will cover the "blurb".
With some practice this can work out quite well and smoothly.
One can try this same idea with a "slide" from C# to low E (with the Left)
