When you do these really slow with this very relaxed arm, you're not, you're touching the guitar up here in the forearm area, right?
But you're not touching it down here.
But when you get faster
I'm playing so [D] lightly, and yeah, I want to play faster at changing.
There's [C#] this thing that kind of happens, right?
This part of my hand, the bottom of your thumb or whatever you would call that, right there, rests kind of on the bridge pins.

Got it.
And so you're not, it's not a hard anchor there.
No, you don't want tension anywhere.
But you can feel them though, they're grazing.
Yeah, I'm feeling there.
Tell me what it feels like, David.
You don't want to push hard because, and you don't want to squeeze the pit, because feel your arm.
When you squeeze, what happens?
Well, there's muscles or tense.
Can I ask you, and I don't want to put you out at all, but can you do that exactly what you just did with the bridge pin style, but with the sleeve rolled up a little bit, so we can see what the forearm is doing when you do that?
Just sitting there.
Well, I guess my question is, I'm wondering if there's this turning going on that helps you get around, or if it's more just the wrist, is kind of my nerd question about that.
My answer would be, it don't matter.
Whichever way works best for you would be the way to do it.
