Even if you already feel confident with holding the guitar please watch this video to double check.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Classical (Left Leg) Vs Modern (Right Leg). Playing on the left leg can feel strange but it straightens your back and you will feel closer to your guitar. It may not look cool, but it sure can help your technique. Give it a try.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Buy a Foot Stole. I use one in all of my video lessons. Set it up so your leg is raised 20-30cm from the ground.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.learnguitarinlondon.com\/index.php\/guitar-equipment\/#nfour\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Here\u2019s my Foot Stool recommendation<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Your picking arm and wrist should be parallel with the strings. Think flat wrist onto the strings.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Use the tips of your fingers and pull the strings with a slight angle towards your right shoulder. Pivot from the thumb joint (watch the video for this)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Fingernails Vs No Fingernails. Entirely your choice, fingernails sound sharper and more like a plectrum. I won\u2019t be using fingernail picks in this course.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid\"><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><div class=\"vc_btn3-container vc_btn3-center vc_do_btn\" ><a class=\"vc_general vc_btn3 vc_btn3-size-lg vc_btn3-shape-rounded vc_btn3-style-modern vc_btn3-icon-left vc_btn3-color-primary\" href=\"https:\/\/www.learnguitarinlondon.com\/index.php\/video-3-golden-fingerstyle-rule\/\" title=\"\"><i class=\"vc_btn3-icon fas fa-angle-double-right\"><\/i> Next Lesson - Golden Fingerstyle Rule<\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid\"><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<p><strong>Course Progress Bar<\/strong><br \/>\n<div class=\"wppb-wrapper inside full\"><div class=\"inside\">2 \/ 37<\/div><div class=\"wppb-progress full\"><span class=\"green\" style=\"width: 5.4054054054054%;\"><span><\/span><\/span><\/div><\/div>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Lesson 2 - Get Comfortable It\u2019s important to be comfortable when playing guitar.
