[musictlk] Playing The Guitar

[Bill Kociaba]

Hi Brianna,
 I am doing it backwards.  I am just now trying to learn braille after 
playing guitar for many years.  I actually haven't played in a while and my 
callasse have gone down somewaht but the result is a loss of sensativity in 
my fingertips.  I would suggest to really try to use only the very tip of 
your fingers to fret the neck...Thats the way you are suppose to do it 
anyway just many people aren't that precise.  Try very hard to arch your 
fingers as much as you can and use only the very tip of your finger as close 
to the nail as you can.  Try to be awaire of what part of your finger you 
use to read and try to avoid letting that area touch the strings.  Oh and 
most important have fun with it.
