left hand swiping-up movement

Hi Andrew,

What is it that you’re doing with your left hand when you swipe up/feather off the fretboard (e.g. 3 seconds into “I have a little dreidel” or at the end of “Mr. Sandman”)? I guess to let it ring out? Actually, it would be really cool if you could do a video on the little nuances in your left and right hand technique, i.e. these flourishes you make 🙂 (think you did address a bit of this in some Q&A video I can’t find anymore where another student said that no matter how much they get a song down, they never play it like you do and so what is it you’re doing). Thanks in advance!

Is weird quirks a good answer? 🙂 I like the minor tone produced when lifting up before the next phrase starts. But, this is minor stuff. I wouldn’t worry too much about copying it.
