Many players make the mistake of extending their fingers outward while trying to play scales, which is ineffective and counterproductive.

Many guitarists struggle with stretches because they focus on the wrong techniques, leading to discomfort and potential injury.

In modern guitar playing, many players incorrectly mimic techniques suited for the cello, which can hinder their performance on the guitar.

When you pick something up or tap on a table, you naturally use a relaxed and efficient hand position, which should be mirrored in guitar playing.

The left-hand stretch on the guitar is often more about technique than physical limitations, as demonstrated by students with smaller hands who can still manage significant stretches.

To develop guitar technique, one must start by ensuring the thumb operates independently from the fingers, allowing for relaxed or active finger movements while the thumb performs different tasks.

The first mistake is improper right hand alternation; as classical guitarists, we should regularly alternate fingers to avoid tension and improve speed, fluidity, and accuracy.

In the left hand, avoid lifting fingers unnecessarily when they are not needed, as this can create extra movement and hinder your playing efficiency.

To achieve greater distance between fingers, rotate the wrist and allow the hand to move naturally instead of forcing a parallel position to the fretboard.
