      @@SeanBeavers1 I did! Def! I needed it because I cant figure out what bad habits I've developed in the past year & 1/2. I'm developing alot of pain in my thumb & wrists. Then when I try to fix it it fills so awkward that I end up going back to the way I was doing, the wrong way, b4 i even know it. It would be great if you could do a video about developed bad habits. (Like with position & technique with the left & right hands!) You r a great teacher & that would be a good one to see. Thanks again!

    Wow this really helps! 5 minutes ago my palm was really hurting when I practice bars. I realize after watching that I am pushing my thumb and index finger too hard. Now I can play a 4 chord progression without pausing. Thanks a bunch!

      I’m sorry that you have carpal tunnel syndrome! I hope that you have sought medical advice about recovering from that. I am glad this video was useful in helping you not press too hard on the strings of the guitar.

    • @SeanBeavers1
      @SeanBeavers1  4 года назад +1

      Ressam It is good that you are recognizing the issue. Awareness is the first step toward not pressing with your left thumb.

    If I push too hard my index finger knuckle hurts slightly. I've been really trying to practice not pushing so hard. Especially i feel it when I do a lot of power chord slides

      phantumgrey Good for you for working on using minimum necessary pressure.

    I have been playing for years and I know I'm pressing way too hard especially when I am nervous. How can I stop doing that?

    • @SeanBeavers1
      @SeanBeavers1  11 месяцев назад

      Have you tried gradually adding pressure to each finger in turn to develop sensitivity to how much pressure is needed?

      Do just your fingers hurt or your wrist and arm as well?

      I’m glad you found it useful! I know some instructors watch this channel, so hopefully these concepts will be more widely taught in future.
