ライトハンド奏法	2725
ライトハンド	9840

Obviously it occurs quite a bit without the 奏法, but they all seem guitar-related.

https://kotobank.jp/word/ライト・ハンド奏法[right hand playing]-813785

I think the playing technique is almost always ライトハンド奏法. We probably don't need an entry for ライトハンド.

ライトハンド	9840

I don't have time to work on this one but I think the term is only used in the context of guitar playing. Possibly there's only one sense.

https://thepocketguitar.com/archives/16084

I spotted this going through a scene in Vampirdzhija Vjedogonia. I was going to put (guitar technique) there first, but it's not like you can't tap on a bass or really any suitable fretted stringed instrument

GG5 only has "affricate". I think we can keep "affricative".

"Affricate" is a much more common term. Going by result counts from quoted Google searches (not the greatest method, I know) I got <25'000 for "affricative" and >300'000 for "affricate", so maybe affricative could even be removed as a definition.
