Hi @darcelle , My thoughts are that the squeak noise comes from the fingers running along the wound strings (lo E, A, D and on my guitar, the G also). Let’s take today’s lesson for instance, “Ice Dancing” – using a C shape and moving it up and down the fretboard. When I keep my middle & ring fingers on the D & A strings while moving from one position to the next, I get Squeak City. When I lift those fingers completely off of those strings, I get zero squeak. I can still keep my index finger touching the B string as an anchor (or guide) and have no squeak because that string is not wound. Just wanted to give my 2 cents.
