In Lesson 3 on stretching, Mircea discusses a left-hand position that guitarists tend to find more challenging than "playing from the left" — namely, "playing from the right," or with the finger joints leaning right relative to the fingertips. You'll also see the importance of preparing for stretches you're about to make.

Even though it may not feel as natural at first, Mircea shows why wrist rotations to the right are worth practicing...and how once you're used to them, certain passages in beloved pieces like Villa-Lobos' Etude No. 1 and Albéniz's Asturias (Leyenda) are much easier to play.
