Any suggestions.?

Hi


don't worry about it. Guitar takes lots and lots of practice. Focus in on what is causing the problem and slow everything down concentrating on correct finger placement and keep at it but not to the point of major frustration. Tomorrow is another day and more practice. It does work. Everybody who plays guitar goes through it.


One of the most frustrating things for me is seeing YouTubers use words like "Master the guitar in two days". Even at GT, if I were writing the ad copy it would read something like "Sign up for many many hours of frustration and hopelessness". But they probably wouldn't sell many subscriptions.


Try to avoid getting to this point:
