I’m sure it IS confusing, but the replies abov are correct: there’s more than one or two techniques options. Some of the choice you make has to do with the style of music you’d ultimately love to be able to play really well.

And some of the choice comes down to what you find feels most comfortable and natural to your own individual fingers.

To get rolling though, and get into making some fun music, I’d advise you choose one of the teachers and their path here at GT and stick with it for a while.

Then with some experience under your belt, you can decide if that path feels right for you, or if you’d like to try something different.

its all just part of the totally natural learning process, take your time and have fun with it.
