Great analysis of Ana's individual technique, and a help to aspiring guitarists. Thanks

Merci pour vos analyses dont je tire toujours quelques enseignements. 👏

Segovia used a straight finger flattening the hand back for rest strokes so many players did that but John Williams was the first player that I know of who did not use that way but just brought his finger threw the string which you see Ana do which keeps the hand in same position for rest and free stroke. The bar chord placing second finger on top of first finger flattens the first finger more than it adds any pressure. The build of a persons body has a big influence on how they play the guitar, as with hand shape, Ana has long arms and as can be seen when she was young long finger joints. Interesting to see this video. There are many Female players who have impeccable technique more so then men

Bonjour. Très bonne analyse du jeu d Anna Vidovic.. Et effectivement elle emploie l annulaire uniquement quand elle ne peut faire autrement (accord à 4 notes..etc). Mais elle évite vraiment..
Super channel. Merci

First i comment, then i watch)
Great videos!! Please do keep it up, i find them really cool and helpful. Thank you!

Btw. Maybe, just maybe, you could analyse technique of some no-nail player? Maybe Virginia Luque or Hector Garcia?

[malcolmwatson]

Thank you so much for these interesting and insightful technique analysis videos. May I suggest you do one on Manuel Barrueco?

[Koga-Ed]

Thanks for this in depth analysis.
Btw: when playing Le Catedral it looks like Ana is using the annular of her plucking hand.

Suggestion: analyze the technique of Kazuhito Yamashita!

[brandonhotkey]

how do you understand the motion at 13:29 (cca 13:29, 5-13:30, 5) the way downwards. She is using two fingers to play one string and ring-finger to play next string, right?

[Boepyne]

Regarding the gap between i and m ; maybe she has just the tips of the fingers touching to achieve the same single mechanism effect.

[johnlay]

The main difference between Ana's technique and the "standard" one is in the RH. Ana avoid using the ring finger as much as possible due to the tone color which is not to her liking. I believe that's probably true for everyone. I find the same problem, but too inert to do what she does.

make that t-shirt! The diagrams from Sor are well into the public domain.

Hello Anna ! How are you ? I like play also gitar s music .

[thingiscertain]

The background music in the video is so unrelated to the video content! Quite off putting.

I also noticed the same in Bach. Almost like striking piano chord.
