Lesson Eight
Introduction
In this week’s lesson we will be playing ‘Yankee Doodle’. First though let’s check out this week’s slightly tricky Ziggys Top Tip!
Ziggy's Top Tip...
Fretting Hand Finger Positioning
You should try using more than one finger to press down the frets. Using one finger might seem easier at first but you will be able to play much quicker if you use them all.
It’s important to keep the fingers close to the frets when they are not being used. If the fingers are left to pull further away from the fret board it will take longer for them to be placed back on to it.
Things to think about:
• More than one finger is being used to fret the strings
• Your fingers are not lifting too far from the strings when they are not being used
So how about this week’s exercise and tune?! And try out this week’s tricky Ziggys top tips!
So go for it, Let’s Play Guitar!
