Étude No. 11 is a study in arpeggios and chords, involving difficult left-hand stretches and an unusual emphasis on the use of the right-hand thumb. Like the preceding and following studies (and unlike the earlier ones), it is in ternary (ABA) form, with bell-like effects marking the middle section.
Lifting the left hand stops or suppresses the resonating string. [1] Strumming barre chords or other chords in which there are no open strings, left-hand muting may punctuate the rhythm, so that instead of the continuous ringing sound of the strumming, short silences are introduced. Left-hand muting is used to produce chops (chords that are ...
Major-thirds tunings require less hand-stretching than other tunings, because each M3 tuning packs the octave's twelve notes into four consecutive frets. [ 2 ] [ 11 ] The major-third intervals allow major chords and minor chords to be played with two–three consecutive fingers on two consecutive frets. [ 12 ]
The four fingers of the left hand (which stop the strings) are designated 1 = index, 2 = middle, 3 = ring finger, 4 = little finger The number 0 designates an open string, one not stopped by a finger of the left hand. On the classical guitar the thumb of the left hand is rarely used to stop strings from above (as may be done on other guitars ...
Major-thirds tunings require less hand-stretching than other tunings, because each M3 tuning packs the octave's twelve notes into four consecutive frets. [ 56 ] [ 59 ] The major-third intervals let the guitarist play major chords and minor chords with two three consecutive fingers on two consecutive frets.
On the other hand, particular traditional chords may be more difficult to play in a regular tuning than in standard tuning. It can be difficult to play conventional chords especially in augmented-fourths tuning and all-fifths tuning, [1] in which the wide (tritone and perfect-fifth) intervals require hand stretching

Finger vibrato is vibrato produced on a string instrument by cyclic hand movements. Despite the name, normally the entire hand moves, and sometimes the entire upper arm. It can also refer to vibrato on some woodwind instruments, achieved by lowering one or more fingers over one of the uncovered holes in a trill-like manner.
