This is something I really need to improve.

I needed this video so much.

That's cool to hear.. I hope it's helpful!

Good stuff!

Really love this, Ryan. Going to get to work on it. (Btw, killer job on the Penny Lane solo at the last Alabama Symph Beatles concert! It was a pleasure to witness!)

Thanks! That show was really fun. I hope it all sounded good on the audiences side. It’s so hard to tell where I was sitting.

I've been tinkering with some of these ideas in my own playing recently -- how to get more front to the note, both at pp as well as ff. thanks for the suggested exercise! Do you know any of the old Gerard Schwarz solo albums? He demonstrates some remarkable articulation clarity on those recordings.

My pleasure.. keep in touch about how it goes! I definitely know those albums you're talking about. I agree with you, among other things, they are a great resource for modeling articulation.

Merri Franquin exercises.

I haven’t heard of those. Doesn’t surprised me someone way smarter than me figured this out a long time ago!

a shuebruck kind of approach

hi ryan, i have this problem of having too much front on the start of my notes, is there anyway that i can help get rid of this and make the front of my notes less heavy?

I literally just saw this comment. Without hearing you, it’s hard to gauge. But, my guess is that your air isn’t forward enough, or the coordination isn’t clear enough, so you’re having to work harder to get the air out. Try focusing on getting a clear ping at the front and let that create the volume/energy, and ease up on the overall effort.
