I admit to looking at both. Can easily strum or pick a wrong string and need to keep checking my chord changes.

Getting better after 3 months but suspect it will long continue as new chords are thrown in to the mix.

I know I sometimes lean the guitar back to see the fretboard which is a No No

On the positives side I am noticing my alternate picking is becoming more natural depending what I'm doing. Can run through the scales and spider warm up is way better.

Learning on electric with practice amp.
