A Systems View Of The Stroke
When you make a correction in one body part, in one section of your stroke cycle, be aware that it may confuse the body parts connected to it because they have been used to compensating for an error and now they need to learn how to actually work when there is no error to compensate for.

Tuning the guitar, and tuning the stroke require systems thinking.
