What are you blocking with when you use that technique? This is the most
difficult part of the whole slide thing for me to master, I think. I seem to
be blocking, unconsciously, using my left hand by lifting the steel
slightly, or sometimes damping with the heel of my right hand. I certainly
am blocking (my notes have a beginning and an end), but I'm sure it's not in
an "approved" way (assuming there is such a thing).
