Any tips be great Don't get ahead yourself nail the basics before moving on learn the rhythm and chords stuff first, speed will come ...my biggest mistake was probably learning myself, ive got into so many bad habits , I should really go back to basics and take my own advice 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Any tips be great Slowly slowly, break stuff down into manageable chunks. Don't try and learn too much at the same time. Practice right hand technique/hitting individual strings, just simplify everything til it all clicks. If you get frustrated, put the instrument down for half hour or so....but really, practice, practice, practice. It will all come together in time... Yokel 4 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mushroom 14,081 Posted February 15, 2022 Report Share Posted February 15, 2022 Tried many times… I just cannot bridge my fingers correctly. My knuckles and hands are a bit buggered so that’s why. I’m shit hot on a recorder though, I can play Michael row ya boat and o’er the sea to Skye pretty darn well imo 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
