The last few days I have concentrated on improving the posture of my right hand. For as long as I've been playing, I used to have a rather strange hand position, which resulted in me always striking the strings closer to the neck than others. As a result, everything I played sounded a bit muffled and weak, even though I never associated it with that. After more or less accidentally watching a video about correct hand position, I thought it would be a good idea to give it a try. For the first few minutes it felt terribly cramped and even after a few days I still have to force myself not to fall back into the old posture. However, the effect on the sound of my playing is enormous! Everything sounds stronger, more defined, more dynamic and much brighter. I even had to adjust my presets in Helix Native because they suddenly had too much gain. I wish I had realized this much earlier!
