No need to panic.

Don't get yourself all worked up over this. Do whatever feels good for you. The lessons that have seen is just a guide.

THERE ARE NO RULES! No one plays alike. One technique works good for one person and not for the other.

Just play what you enjoy and what makes you feel comfortable. Try as many techniques if you can. I think when you become more advanced, if you have a bad habit, it would be easy to change! cos you're advanced. I think anyone can change if you're already an advanced player, cos of experience.

Am I talking rubbish here? :p

Keep up the practice
