I'm pretty new to Glowstringing but I am fairly confident in my abilities. I was wondering if you guys could suggest any moderate level tricks I could try/practice to see if I'm good enough yet. Giving me tips/linking vids to help me practice these moves would be greatly appreciated

[AquaThane]

Well... what moves do you know so far... and look in my signature for the link to glowstringing tutorials... that's where you'll find, that's right you guessed it, glowstringing tutorials

Here's what I can do so far (after 1 week):

Flowers
3-beat
Butterfly/Reverse Butterfly
Hammer
Chasing the Sun
beginning lvl Wraps (no variations)
Orbitals
Buzz Saw
Windmill (low & high)
5-beat

What I'm working on:

BTB Weave
Corkscrew/Figure 8

anything else I should try?

[Daisy]

WOW!
corkscrew/figure 8 isn't really that hard Aquathane has the best tutorial for that, well I think it is anyways.

How long do you practice?

[kmay]

hard to say really, I've been pretty much addicted since I started. An hour here a few hours there. the other day I was just standing in one place in my front yard practicing my 5-beat and when i looked at my phone I had been standing there for 30 min. lol

so exact time, idk, but at least an hour a day. I try to learn 1 or 2 tricks a day, I've gotten 3 new ones down in 1 day before. It also helps that I'm a really fast learner when it comes to hand coordination

[AquaThane]

awesome stuff... always love a fast learning... you should check this thread out before trying new moves -- Performance Techniques -- once you have that, try BTB Weave (forward/reverse), Wall Plane Weaves, Crossers, and some Crossover Wraps... that'll keep you busy for a long while

[AquaThane]

also!... forgot to add, that you always ALWAYS want to learn every move you do in forward and reverse, you'll be able to get into and out of a lot more moves if you can do everything in forward/reverse

[kmay]

sweetness! Thanks Aqua

an amazing thread by lilraverboi!! I have already picked up on it a bit but this just emphasizes it. I look forward to learning to put on a good performance as well as learning new stuff to incorporate into said performance

I don't have a good camera so I can't really make videos, but I'll post the one I get from my talent show to show off what GXG has done for my stringing ability
