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
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
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.

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!
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.

Being relaxed is the key ive got to know.
Good points! Relaxation and efficiency of motion are keys to a great technique
100%, can't get enough training with this
Air guitar is a great way to practice movements. My goal would be to remember the sequence before playing.
This is guitar martial training. Amazing.
Thank you Tom Hess!
Great lesson Tom 😎🤟greetings from germany, Rock on my friend🤝
Great lesson!
Thank you for Sharing
This is good advice!
Do you recommend planting index finger as often as possible or lifting after each note?
this is great 🤘
Hey Tom, does this apply to bass guitar?

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

I think it's his thumb.
