Trouble-shooting
- Play slowly and evenly. Do not attempt to go fast as accuracy is far more important than speed.
- Place your fingers directly behind the frets (as shown in the photos) and on their tips.
- Count in your head or out loud as you play (in groups of four).
- Be sure to support your wrist and use correct pick technique.
