In this lesson, you learn effective strategies for getting the perfect fretting hand position for playing guitar.
Everything becomes so much easier to do when your fretting hand is in the correct position.
I will first take you through what not to do when placing your fretting hand onto the fretboard, before giving you simple strategies and methods to ensure your fretting hand is in the correct position every time you pick up your guitar to play.

Olá, Simon! Suas aulas e dicas têm me ajudado muito. Percebi minha evolução! Tenho uma dica de aula, porque ainda não consegui fazer acordes de pestana com o dedo minimo. Faço pestana com os dedos 1,2,3, mas com com o minimo não consigo!

Nice video again! The points are good,but having short and stiff fingers(not any joints bending backwards),there`s still many things that are not

Thank you for this video. It helped me figure some things out that I was having trouble with. I was not able to be as relaxed as I want to be and was not able to reach the notes that I wanted to, properly. I had hand fatigue and some discomfort. Just changing where my thumb rested has helped that. Thank you again for all you do and for the great videos. Keep up the great work.

Small hands - it is death sentence in guitar playing in my opinion. Because I can't play F chord with thumb over the edge of fretboard, and this types of chords are common in use.

Tell Jimi not to put the thumb over the edge of the neck. Well that might be difficult to do. He would put his thumb over about 3 strings...E-A-D. Maybe more. I always use my thumb across the low E when playing minor 7s

Just another person with large hands spouting off on a subject he knows nothing about. 5 fret stretch 😂. Low e .5 cm away from pinky and for sure muting every other string.
