Classical guitar tremolo technique: reconsider your limitations

March 31, 2007

During a recent yoga class, the instructor asked us to turn our attention to our feet. After some gentle massage (to promote circulation) and light stretching of the feet and toes, she suggested that we should be able to use our toes like our fingers. She gave examples of people who have learned to type with their toes. She even showed us her dexterity with her toes. She could lift and move individual toes without recruiting the others in the process. If that doesn’t sound too impressive, try it yourself. She indicated that through massage and conscious effort one could do the same. If others can gain such dexterity with their toes, maybe we should reconsider the limitations we put on our fingers.
