Hi, Put your hand in a vertical manner on the tabel Put your hand upright on the tab le . 'In a vertical manner' sounds odd. 'Upright' sounds better, but really, I am not sure of how you want me to put my hand on the table.

Hi,

I still don't understand what you mean by 'in a vertical'. Can you explain to me in another way?

Best wishes, Clive

Maybe the word you're looking for is "perpendicular" (i.e. the finger has to be perpendicular to the string). Just a wild guess.
Also, do you mean "don't bend the finger" by "without declination"?

I know what you mean.

The fingertip itself should be on the string not the pad of the finger. I can't remember how our guitar teacher used to phrase this though...
