Hi and thanks for responding. My fingers are moving fine in fact better
than I expected considering its been sevral years its moving the hand up and
down the neck where I run into trouble. I understand the not squeezing
issue and keep correcting it as I realize I am doing it. again something I
need to relearn.
Again thanks

I'm not a guitarist, but I do play violin and viola so I do
understand some of the issues here to an extent. Knowing where
the notes are is something that comes with practice over a period
of time as you build muscle memory. I would try doing lots of
slow practice and/or play scales to get an idea of where the
notes are. If you are having trouble moving your hands and
fingers fluently and accurately, it could be because you're
squeezing the neck extremely hard. I don't think it's a good
idea to squeeze the neck, namely with the thumb muscle. This
squeezing actually inhibits the precise and controlled movement
of the fingers. Yes, the finger joints have to be firm in order
to press the strings down, but the rest of the hand should not be
working too hind.

Hi all,
I have a question for any of the guitar players out there. I
used to play
years ago. Never was very good but enjoyed it. I always had
trouble moving
my hand fingers were pretty fast and accurate but moving up and
down the
neck was always a challenge. Back then I had a little vision but
now I
don't. Any suggestions on getting A smoother in moving my hand
and B on
landing on the right fret when I do move it? I was thinking of
putting a
couple of small pieces of tape on the back of the neck at
something like
the4,6 and 9 fret.
Any ideas? I know this is a real specific topic and don't want to
wast
everyones time so anyone who wants to answer me can do so
directly at
kociabafitness at gmail.com if you like
Thanks in advance
Bill
