I'll make my nails shorter, I'm positive about that, I believe it'll work.
Besides the sound, I love that arrangement for Bohemian Rhapsody!! What do you think about it?
well look at it like this, Segovia held his hand like that because it was comfortable for him. Cruz holds his hand like that because it's comfy for him. There is a way to hold your hand to get better tone, there's no right or wrong way, just what sounds and works best for each individual player.

As for the arrangment, I think it's quite good but Edgar Cruz has some of the worst tone I've ever heard
