Thanks everyone, I'm doing the spider legs exercises as a warmup before starting with the courses but still having issues. I'm bending my fingers, stretching them but it's very hard to make those fingers go where you want them to go. I'll keep going but will slow it down to a crawl if needed. What's hard is trying to keep up with Lisa on the melodies changing strings at the pace of the music. Anybody know anything else I should try please give me some pointers. I really would to lick this in the bud so I can move on. Is it just me or I'm just not getting it. Thanks
