thank you so much. your videos are really nice. Your kindness and smile help beginners like me at the guitar. Thank you so so much

[jancarton]

That actually helped so much! The main tip I found most helpful was rotating my index finger, I haven’t considered the “squishy part” affecting the amount of effort I had to put in and the buzzing sound it consequently made. Thanks a lot and may others find your tips helpful too! 🍀
