Escape Motions

[Janita Locklin]

Escapemotion is a type of picking motion that moves away from the body of the guitar during part of its travel. This allows the pick to break free from in between the strings and escape, avoiding the surrounding strings, and making clean string changes possible.

The good news is that most joint motions used in picking technique already possess some type of escape. For many players, this amounts to a freebie that can be unlocked simply by becoming more aware of the type of escape motion you already use, and pairing it with the right phrases.

Escape motion is a type of alternate picking motion that moves away from the body of the guitar along a diagonal or semicircular motion path. This allows the pick to escape from between the strings during part of its travel.

Escape motion is the principal method by which plectrum players avoid hitting unwanted strings during fast string changes. It is not a single motion, but a family of motions, each with different escape capabilities. If a phrase is not paired with an escape motion that matches its string changes, it cannot be played cleanly at high speed no matter how much practice is applied.

The good news is that most joint motions used in picking technique already possess some type of escape. For many players, this amounts to a freebie that can be unlocked simply by becoming more aware of the type of escape motion they already use.

The trapped zone is the space below the strings, near the body of the guitar. This is where you position the point of the pick when you want to play a note. The escape zone is the area above the strings. This is where you have to be when you want to switch strings, to avoid hitting something.

So a pickstroke that can switch strings would need to move through both places. It would need to spend at least part of its travel in the trapped zone between the strings to play the note, and part in the escape zone above the strings, where it can move around more freely and switch strings.

Of these four possibilities, three include an escape, and one is completely trapped. And all of them have their place in efficient picking technique, because each one can handle a specific type of string change.

For example, if your primary joint motion creates a downstroke escape, then this motion can only move from one string to another without mistakes when the final pickstroke on every string is a downstroke. The reverse is also true: If your primary joint motion creates an upstroke escape, then the final pickstroke on each string must be an upstroke in order to get into the escape zone without contacting the surrounding strings.

Musical instrument motor learning happens primarily by touch and sound, and players are often not aware of the specific motions they are making, even when those motions are pointed out to them. This is not a criticism, but a compliment. The ability to learn complicated things without overt teaching or awareness is a superpower that highly skilled players rely on to build their techniques. The good news is that the rest of us also possess this ability, because it is how our motor system works.

In nature, animals are classified into two large groups. Those that form the prey and that form the predator. A prey animal runs for its life when chased by a predatory animal. When prey animals escape from the chasing enemy, they generally use two types of evasive motion. Those are a straight-line escape motion and a zigzag-line escape motion. A fleeing prey switches between two types of evasive behavior in a manner depending on the predator's performance.I propose a mathematical model that expresses behaviors between a prey and a predator. This model brings that a straight-line escape motion is a better solution for an escape from a slow and far predator. On the other hand, an evasive motion for a near or fast enemy is a zigzag-line escape motion. This model suggests that animals have the best evasive strategy.

The kinematics of the escape process of granular materials from vessels with escape holes located in a horizontal flat bottom is investigated. By using moving pictures, the boundaries of the zones of the different state and the motion of the loose material are determined.
