Mixing Strings 1 & 2

When using your left hand you should always make sure that the palm of your left hand runs parallel with the guitar fretboard. This means you will have to stretch the fingers apart in order to reach the correct places behind the frets. Try to hover your left hand fingers above the frets, already in place to play the next note.

Things to remember:

Play a new piece slowly and evenly. Practice one bar at a time and only move on when you have mastered it evenly.
For the left hand, use the tips of your fingers and keep the fingers curved.
Always count while playing.
Try to look at the music, not the guitar.
