[@Dajavoutube]

Excellent video and tuition! To me, a relative beginner, you make the whole process, look so easy. The sign of a very accomplished musician. Excellent......top drawer! I perfectly understand what to do but as a relative beginner I simply cannot get my LH - fingers to fret the notes with the same span and dexterity as you do in order to quickly move from one note to another when playing the shuffle. The size of my fingers look pretty much the same as yours. I just can't get them to stretch and position the way they need to in order to perfect the shuffle. Do you have any pointers please? Many thanks R

[@maxmilligan8734]

Many thanks, I hope the other lessons will be useful for you, like the easy blues licks in E. Enjoy. Max

[@maxmilligan8734]

Thanks all the best. :o)
