Is there a tutorial on the best top hand positions for securing particular cords. I am have trouble tagging strings while keeping pressure on other strings as in the "F" and "G" cords. Thanks

Thanks Lisa: I have already viewed these tutorials but I was particularly interested in the thumb and hand placements on the neck and the points of contact pressure that allow for good finger agility and proper angle. By the way I love your personal style of instruction.
