    This ^^^^ !

    So true, the death grip, did this as well and while it wasn’t causing a sore wrist, it is detrimental to playing. When we’re learning we have a tendency to press very hard, trying to eliminate the buzzing or thuds. Getting the finger closer to the fret wire means less pressure will still work. We need to find that sweet spot where it’s a clean note but minimum pressure. This is still something I focus on everyday, because I still press to hard when making certain chords, like the D major.
