How to become a Christian
The first tip is to start your practice sessions with prayer. It's so simple, but so easy to forget to do.
Prayer has two sides. Not only does God want to help us through this life, He wants us to do everything to His Glory.
Ask Him to help you learn the instrument. You can ask Him for help with certain chord changes, etc. Then play for him... even your practice.
2. RELAX
It takes a lot of weight to hold down the strings of a guitar, especially for bar chords. But, not more than what's needed to get a good sound.
Most students hold too much tension in their hands. It's no wonder it's difficult for them to change quickly or get a good sound.
A good way to release unnecessary tension is to start with relaxing your face. Consciously relax your face and shoulders while you play. That will help your fingers too.
3. LEFT HAND
The best position for your left hand is when your hand is parallel to the neck. You want to have the pinky side of your hand as close to the neck as your first
finger side.
Many beginning guitar players hold their hand with the first finger side close to the neck, but the pinky side is an inch or more away.
