Btw, I had to tinker around to get the sound in my video right. First off, it looks like you are on your finger tips which is a good thing. As far as looking down, muscle memory takes a lot of practice.

Yeah, I usually try to press down on the strings with the tips of my fingers, except when playing Barre Chords, obviously. I know muscle memory requires lots of practice and patience, but then, what parts of playing guitar doesn't require those two? It wouldn't be fun either, if anyone could just pick up a guitar and play like Van halen or Hendrix without any prior knowledge about the instrument :)

I'll try to mess around with my settings (or hope my neighbors to both sides are on vacation at the same time), and try to get some better videos up.
