That is a tough one Ana. I had a teacher suggest playing while looking in a mirror but my brain was overly confused by the whole right left reverse so it was not helpful. I guess you could try to play with your computer camera on…maybe that would help you see your fingers without craning your neck around (which is what I did until I didn’t need to anymore. Loraine said it well, we do what we need to do to learn. Take it as slow as you need, to find success in the doing. It will get better fast but consistency, daily playing, setting reasonable goals, these practices will accelerate your progress hopefully making your playing more fun. Focusing on a single chord played in time can be its own small win, or playing a bass note in time cleanly and consistently is another small win. While the goal is to get to speed and play like Tony demonstrates many of us had to start with smaller pieces of a demonstrated lesson. The key is finding the success, making a sound you like and doing it again. If you do that you are winning, your progress will come. Socal Ian covered the pick subject perfectly. Welcome to TAC!
