Jessica,

I'm honored you asked me. I have not been active on Wholenote much lately.

Playing guitar is about making music. It is about what it sounds like, not what you're fingers are doing. Learning to play guitar is learning to train your fingers to do what they need to to make the sound you want to hear.

Take things slow. Break it up into small pieces and work on it slow enough to play it as "perfect" as possible, then gradually speed it up.

Try singing the part you are trying to play.

Learn the difference between learning, practicing, and playing music.

That's enough for now. Sounds like you have some good teachers already.

Rick
