Your thumb should be flush against the rest of your hand and you shouldn't be able to see any holes, totally closed up. If the fingerboard is still slipping through try this excersize. Put your hand into the position it is supposed to be and rest it on an armrest or counter. Grab a pen or pencil and put it where the fingerboard would go. Increase the force of the pen into your thumb/hand. If it slips then think about which muscles in your thumb/hand need to push up against the pen more and retry. This is a good excercise to do what at work or waiting for something.
See below for an example of myself playing a double-stop heavy piece. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pWGLb57zbz8
Good luck! |
