2. Left hand

 

The best way to describe the action of your left hand is comparing it to the movement of a train. The neck is the railway and your hand (the train) glides effortlessly over it, in a relaxed way.

 

·         Your left hand knuckles should be parallel to the edge of the fretboard but without touching it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

·         Your fingers should reach for the frets by bending the joints and not by twisting the wrist.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

·         Your thumb should sit opposite your fingers, behind the neck of the guitar, to balance your hand.
