Christopher Berg’s “Mastering Guitar Technique: Process & Essence” is perhaps the first guitar method to discuss ballistic motion in the right hand. In this lesson I talk about the importance of flexing the fingers only enough to sound the string and the necessity of allowing the fingers to extend naturally without activating the extensor muscles.
I also demonstrate the full natural extension which can be used in many sympathetic motion arpeggios, and the shortened natural extension used in i and m alternation.
In fast playing it is important to remember that although the right hand fingers do move less, it’s the manner in which they move less that is important. If no extensors muscles are employed in the shortened stroke used for playing rapid ‘im’ scale passages, then inhibibting muscle against muscle tension can be avoided.
Here are three exercises for acheiving the ballistic feeling.
1) Three note chords with ‘ima’ are easy to play in a ballistic manner. Use only the grasping motion and allow all the fingers to return natuually.
2) Practice ‘im’ free stroke alternation on one string with a full natural extension, pausing a bit after each finger plays to make sure all tension has been evactuated from the finger and that you flexed the finger only. In other words, give yourself time to think about each stroke.
3) Alternate very lightly and slowly on one string while concentrating on using the mucles/tendons on the bottom of the hand. Keep the top of the hand quiet. Increase speed. If it goes up to about 140 mm (four notes to the click), you’ve got the feeling. I don’t think there is anyway one could play non-ballistically at 140 mm.
