    I’ve been caught in the beginner-intermediate rut for a few years. Too lazy to transcribe entire songs by ear but tired of improvising to backing tracks and songs I don’t know how to play. You’ve bridged that gap for me. Deepest gratitude for the work you’ve done.

      Index finger on the A string,
      Mute D string with your index finger,
      Mute G string with your ring finger,
      Pinky finger on the B string,
      Mute e string with pinky finger.

      @xXLoonoeXx 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      videofreak I mean, the index finger and ring finger mute the D and e strings by default, then you just gotta get the E and G strings out of the way, which you can do easily by using the long and ring fingers. Hardest part is keeping the ring finger from pushing down too much.

      with your index finger, you're gonna lay them on top of all the other strings, barely touching them, and make sure you're pressing down on the actual note you want, and then with your middle finger just put them before your index and play away.
