This has got to be the most useful lesson on putting everything into synchronization. There is no better guitar lesson then this. 10 out of 10!

This is guitar martial training. Amazing.

Mr. Hess you changed myself, I took you advice, an keep consistent.
I'm seeing results.
I can't tank you enough. You the best teacher.

[@outermarker5801]

VERY useful lesson, thank you. I'm going to really retain and work on this principle of progressing from light left hand only touch/fretting to doing the same while picking

[@A20Y11]

Good points! Relaxation and efficiency of motion are keys to a great technique

I can't fret 3 - 5 - 7 without my pointer finger coming off if 3 when I extend to fret 7..
And my thumb comes up high while my hand turns completely. It doesn't swivel.. I'm a decent player but I know I could improve

[@twoputt5]

Do you recommend planting index finger as often as possible or lifting after each note?

[@sotirzvanidjubre4109]

I almost never have problems with my fretting hand but with my picking.

[@Bazzguit]

Hey Tom, does this apply to bass guitar?

[@MiketheNerdRanger]

I keep trying this but the notes dud out *WAY* too quickly. I have to press harder than I want.
Maybe I need to adjust the action on my guitar, then I'll try again; might be too high.

The other tip that feeds into both tension and efficiency--use only the precise amount of force to fret the note. Pushing down harder not only lends to tension but is distance-time. Lightness of touch.

I think it's his thumb.
