You're fretting your instrument too hard, and I can prove it. In this lesson we'll learn why it's important to examine our finger pressure, audit & correct our pressure, then end with some exercises to build finger strength!

Slowed the video to 50% and worked it a measure at a time. Two weeks in and it's coming. Patience is the lesson here as much as the notes.

There's a slower jam track under the resources tab on this lesson, worth grabbing.

Great question. That's a slide going into the B part — I play it as a slide but a hammer-on works fine if that's cleaner for you. Do what sounds right.

Same here at first. What fixed it for me was practicing that measure by itself for a week, no B part at all.
