ACTION STEPS
Watch the video again to make sure everything I talk about sinks in.
Step 1. Try your second rock riff! Start with just picking down first and in the first position. Once you feel comfortable more it up one fret then try picking up and down.
Step 2. Start working on the “E” chord. Remember as I was saying in the previous videos to put your first finger down first, second finger down second, and your third finger down third. This gives you a method and consistent movement every time. Eventually you will just drop all fingers down at one time.
Step 3. The guide finger is such a great tool to help you change chords quickly and easily. It serves to anchor your fingers so you don’t loose your place on the neck. Practice changing between “A”, “D”, and “E” using your guide finger! Just play through those three chords over and over until you can do if freely and fluently.
Step 4. Practice getting to your chords by placing your first finger down first, your second finger down second, and your third finger down third.
TWENTY MINUTES of practice everyday will drastically improve your progress!
Happy Playing!
