3 important tips and tricks

Tip No. 1- Always remember to worry (press) the strings hard enough to get a crispier sound and to avoid soft notes (roaming of saites).

In this way, your fingers may hurt a little, but they don't have to worry because it is normal.How will you practice every day?no longer injured.

Tipp 2- Make sure that your ring finger does not touch the first (thinner) rope when reproducing the regular "chord", as this interrupts the rope.

Tip No. 3- At some point you can feel that even after practicing you cannot progress and this can be frustrating.

But let me say that every new guitarist goes through this phase.
