changing pitches question
« on: September 20, 2007, 12:24:07 PM »
I recently went from 1/4 reverse in thumb to 0 and I'm thinking about trying 1/4 forward in the thumb. I'm not sure what my finger pitches are exactly but just by looking I'd say they are 1/8 or 1/4 forward, I was wondering if changing my thumb from 1/4 reverse to 1/4 forward is going to cause me to need to make adjustments to finger pitches or span.

I would say my span is kind of relaxed, my stats are in my profile.

yes. increasing and decreasing pitch theoretically requires adjustment to span. if i remember correctly, for each 1/8 increase in forward, reduce span by 1/16 and vice  versa.
