![]() ![]() Since then, development changed hands like a baton at the Olympic relay Yager left a year later, to be replaced by Sumo Digital, only for Sumo Digital to leave and be replaced by Dambuster Studios. ![]() Soon it will soon start to feel like a normal thing for you.Eight years ago Graham (who used to be to blame for all of this) got hands-on with Dead Island 2, back when the game was being developed by Yager, the folks behind Spec Ops: The Line. So don't use the left hand for this short amount of time everyday. ![]() It is normal for your right hand to revert back to the old way if you play notes with the left hand. This way you can focus on this new and weird-feeling bow interface. The best exercise you can do to get used to it is to practice playing a slow bow on open strings for 5 minutes everyday. You will feel like you will drop the bow, but the strings will hold it off the ground for you. It is tight in this position even before squeezing! If you modify the grip on the pencil so that the side (and not the pad) of your thumb touches the pencil itself, it will alleviate much of the pressure. Try holding a pencil in your bow hand (with your normal grip) and feel the thumb muscle that ends up hurting. It is absolutely crucial to get the thumb to move sideways so that is doesn't revert to pinching the bow between the fingers and the thumb. This really helps me feel less of a need to hold my bow tightly. It won't be long before you are making a sound that is even bigger than before because it is strain-free!Īlso try to add comfortable grips to your bow (see ). But this takes time-and you have to let go of making a big sound for a while. Soon all the time you are spending with the new bow hold will make it become the more comfortable and familiar one. These exercises give you time with the bow when good sound isn't the point! Usually when we are converting to a new bow hand the old way wins out because our body is used to it and we end up sacrificing ergonomics for a good sound (the way we know how to make it already). This is going to give you lots of training time with an ergonomic bow hand, so it should soon become more comfortable. This will be the same as RICOCHET, except you will control the bow with your bow hand in between bounces to make specific rhythm patterns with the hits (do not try to make this sound good!) ![]() Keep in mind this will not sound good at all! "Fix" your bow hand (as in Steps 1-3) as often as possible, since the bow will feel like sliding out of the hand Let the bow fall back down and bounce on the string like a ball until it stops on its own (repeat, since it will not work well at first) Let go with your left hand and twist your forearm outward (keeping wrist rigid) to lift the tip of the bow off the string Use the left hand as a stabilizer while you set your bow hand. Grab the bow stick about 1/4 of the bow length from the tip with your LEFT hand (both hands are on the bow now) Holding the bow the new way, place it on a middle string about 3/4 the way to the tip (in the upper part of the bow) These exercises are crucial in converting your bow hand to this new ergonomic way! Try TAPPING and RICOCHET to have tons of time holding the bow without the pressure of making a good sound (see below). This will stabilize the bow enough that you can play without the thumb touching the bow at all! Feel how you can make sound without it. To experiment with the idea that the thumb squeezing is unnecessary, put your bow on the string as normal, then swing your pinky around to the back of the frog. Just keep up the exercises and it will soon start to feel like a normal thing for you. It is normal for it to revert back to the old way if you play a piece. The best thing you can do to get used to it is to practice playing slow open strings for 5 minutes everyday where you focus on this new and weird-feeling bow interface. You will feel like you will drop the bow, but the strings will hold it up! It is tight in this position even before you squeeze! If you modify the grip on the pencil to have the bow thumb nail facing the tip of the pencil/bow as opposed to facing the ground, it will alleviate much of the pressure. If you don't know what I am referring to, hold a pencil in your bow hand (with your normal grip) and feel the thumb muscle that ends up hurting. I think it is crucial to get the thumb to move sideways so that is doesn't revert to pinching the bow between the fingers and the thumb. ![]()
