TIPS TO REMEMBER:

Make sure your thumb position is further around the neck (lower) than you might normally (2.29 in the video)

Aim to keep all 4 fingers down on the fretboard at the same time. This will take practice. (4-6 weeks of daily playing for 5-7 minutes)

If starting at fret 1 is too challenging then start at fret 7 and play down the neck (back to fret 1)

I’m using a pick in all of the videos in this course, but you can use your thumb if you prefer.
