fret and then goes to the 7th fret and back to the 10th all on the first string or any other string I always seem to use the wrong fingers to get from note to note. Are there any tips about fingering?? Or any sites that might help?I just play for my own amusement but it's still frustrating for me.
Thanks for any help you can provide
Ok, if you're in the first fret, for example, and fretting with your index finger, when you go up to the 10th fret you might wanna use your pinky to minimize the distance your hand has to move. Unless you have to bend or something, then I'd use my ring finger. I don't like having to bend with my pinky.
