  • Urgent Guitar 1 and 2 Update

    Guitar 1 and Guitar 2.

    I know this comes late, but please do take note of this.
    I could not directly contact all of you guys, but if you're reading this, please tell ALL your contactable Guitar 1 and Guitar 2 friends NOW to read this post.
    NOW.

    Okay, there are simple changes, but you HAVE to practice REALLY hard to make sure you remember them.
    Practice until these changes get stuck in your head.

    At Bar 67 onwards, Guitar 1 and Guitar 2 will play ABOVE THE FRETBOARD.
    Which means your thumb and fingers should be touching the 17, 18 or 19 frets when you pluck your strings.

    This is to help make it sound rounder, and more gentle.

    At Bar 74, slide your hand back above the soundhole.

    From then onwards, pluck above the soundhole.
    You can't really pluck with your hands above the high frets cause both Guitar 1 and 2 need to reach high notes with their left hand eventually.

    Another gentle reminder...

    ... PLEASE GO INFORM EVERY GUITAR 1 AND GUITAR 2 PERSON (especially Vincent Gan) YOU KNOW ABOUT THIS. NOW! EVEN IF YOU THINK THEY'VE ALREADY BEEN INFORMED (exclude me, la, of course) DO IT ANYWAY!
