Well, you took the words right out of my fingers . . . those were my exact thoughts last night when I couldn't seem to do anything to keep from dampenng the strings next to my string and fret targets.

I just chalked it up to a bad night and keep reminding myself everyone says "just keep playing - it will come". I guess I have to trust that.

I am taking a lesson today and want to discuss hand and finger"posture" to at least see if I am making it worse with bad technique.

But, I have vowed I will keep trying and practicing for a year from today to see where it leads me. If it is right back to this post - then so be it. I do trust it will come around.

Glad to know I am not the only one.
