Happy 2021 to my YouTube community! I'm going to focus a lot on right-hand technique in the near future, so I thought I would start with something so vital and often overlooked: How to practice with a mirror! This video will teach you two detailed ways to work with a mirror that will help the accuracy and fluency of your technique. It seems simple/obvious, but the level of richness of information from visual self-analysis is vast. The points in the video are just the start of understanding and developing patterns and modes from a visual standpoint. I owe a lot of my progress to a deeper level of mirror practice. I hope you will all stay to/continue to discover little gems using the mirror! And please share them!
