You wear a disguise to look like Cruiser guys <| sep |> Similar thing happened to me a few months ago . It wouldn ' t have been so hurtful if she had just been up front with me regarding her feelings . <| sep |> Quite a few PS 4 bundles left at Target in My area . <| sep |> What a glorious 5 days that was <| sep |> Heavy thrusts . sultry night air . son Gabriel walked in . <| sep |> Yeah . Reagan wouldn ' t even make it through Super Tuesday . <| sep |> OkI do not know everywhere , but I am just saying that I have seen a lot of US do this arched fingers thing , and it is much better to have flatter fingers with the weight held in the pad of the finger . My teacher was from Germany . Thanks for sending this as an example . Here there are two things that seem to be important . Keep in mind that since I can ' t see your hands , this is just my best guess of what could be going onThe first thing is that when you press the keys down , whether single notes or chords , you need to be doing this by swinging your finger from the knuckle joint . At no point should you be using any arm force when pressing notes . There should not be wrist tension when pressing notes either . If you hold out your hand flat in front of you , and swing only your fingers , this approximates what it should feel like . When you are going to play chords , this still applies . Also with chords when you need to move your arm that far distance between them , the motion should be lateral , led gently by your elbow . If your arm is moving in an arc between the chords , in which your hand sort of lands on the keys with pressure from your arm or wrist , they are going to sound sharply delineated and cut off . If you move your arm laterally , led by the elbow , and swing your fingers from the knuckle to strike the keys , you can affect a much gentler sound that is softer and will not have the tinny banging sound . That said there is pedal used in the video you sent me . As I said , pedal is never a replacement for legato , but you should definitely follow pedal notation if it is in the music . It sounds , in this , like the pedal is being deployed immediately after the chord is pressed , and then quickly tapered off before the next chord this technique softens the chord while managing the resonance and ensuring that it does not thicken out of control . If you ' re playing something like this , follow the pedal markings and do not overuse the pedal . If you are doing a gentle enough technique as I described with the armsfingers , it should sound smooth even without pedal . Having said all this doing the kind of technique I described is very difficult and extremely frustrating to get down . Grown adults with my former instructor would become very fed up with it , as did I , even as a kid . But once you get it down you have much more control over the volume you emit and the tone quality .
