In this video Lesson I teach you what I consider to be the most overlooked aspect of jazz pizzicato technique, the use of arm weight. I show you how to approach playing whilst utilising your arm weight to improve you tone and develop stamina.

I have previously released a lesson on right hand technique, but felt I missed a few key points, which I share in this short lesson. If you are playing jazz then I recommend you check out the video as it's one of the most common problems I see in my students.

I hope you enjoy the lesson and if you have any questions, feedback or lesson requests please join the conversation and leave a comment below.
