Alright folks, today’s practice session got weird, but hey, that’s learning online for ya. Decided to finally figure out what this whole “reach around fingering” thing actually was – seen the term floatin’ around in comments sometimes.
The Annoying Beginning
Started simple, like an idiot. Just typed “reach around fingering gif” straight into the search bar. Big mistake. Total trash fire results. Got buried under mountains of stuff that was either totally unrelated or just… not helpful visuals. Mostly annoying ads and sketchy links. Scrolled for way too long, felt like wasting my life.
Then I remembered, sometimes adding “tutorial” helps cut through the crap. So tried “reach around fingering tutorial gif“. Better? Slightly, maybe. Fewer weird ads popin’ up, but the actual images were still kinda… meh. Super short clips, glitchy motions, impossible to see what the heck fingers were actually doing. Super frustrating. Kept gettin’ distracted by bad thumbnails too.
Tweaking The Search Like A Pro (Sorta)
Got fed up and started playing with the keywords. Dropped “gif” for a second – maybe descriptions first? Searched “how to do reach around fingering guide“. Suddenly, bam! Found some actual text guides on smaller forums. People actually explaining the point of the move. Key takeaway: it’s mainly about the angle and thumb placement. Who knew?
Armed with that uselessly specific knowledge – words like angle and thumb placement – I went back for gifs. Now I searched “reach around fingering technique close up gif“. Game changer! Adding “technique” and “close up” was the magic combo. Finally started seeing shorter, focused gifs that actually looped properly.
- Keyword Shift: Dumb search → “reach around fingering tutorial gif” → “how to do…” (text) → “technique close up gif”.
- Patience Level: High annoyance → mild annoyance → brief hope → finally some clarity.
What Actually Helped See The Fingering
Instead of looking for one perfect gif showing the whole thing, it was way better looking for very short, specific clips. Focused searches like “hand angle reach around fingering gif” or “thumb position tutorial gif” gave way clearer results than any general search. Learned that less is more with these kinda visual searches.
Ended up finding maybe five or six short clips from different angles. Put ’em side by side mentally. Realized the core move is simpler than the name makes it sound – once you ditch the crap search results and zero in on the mechanics. Still can’t believe how much keyword trial-and-error it took just to see a damn finger move clearly. The internet is wild.
