Reciting the letters on scales

I'm not sure if it's beneficial but I mentally recite the letters of my scales. This slows my execution. Maybe that's not a bad thing.



As mentioned in my previous post, I also apply the 4th finger approach of Fernando Sor to the 1st to 3rd strings. This is mentioned in Classical Guitar Pedagogy and in Larry McDonald's The Conservatory Tutor. Larry can be found on the delcamp.net forums under the username of Lare.
