Ok – I didn’t notice you are on year 2. This is my first time through this one – been a member for about a month. So, needless to say mine doesn’t sound so ‘smooth’ lol. I am trying to get the courage to record… I think some time this weekend. I really want to be able to look back to compare… You did a really great job on this though.

This is a good question. Thank all for replying to it. I was struggling with this one myself.

Hello Barbara,
I think at the beginning, we all get frustrated with trying to find the correct string. You are not alone. The first comment you made that I would like to point out is “doing it perfect”. We are learning, so its not going to be perfect for a while. So, try your best and just keep movin’. Before you start doing the play back or playing with him, take a deep breath and relax your body. If you tense back up during the play through, stop the video and re-center yourself (or relax your body) and then start it agan. I tend to get tense when I go to the “play” with Tony part. I noticed when I take a moment to relax myself, I do tend to play better. When you mess up dont worry about it… keep playing on.
Putting too much pressure on ourselves tends to make us tense up and get frazzled and thus… our mind and fingers don’t communicate because everything else in our body is out of balance (or feels tight and chaotic).
Maybe once you get thru a rough lesson for you, you can strum through something you are good at playing… to bring back the WHY…
Going back to the “why” you are doing this may also help you refocus.
I don’t know if any of this will help… but I do understand your frustration.
Happy Wednesday,

Yes, I understand. I have been playing on and off for a few years. It is definitely frustrating. Just try not to lose the focus of why you are doing it. You got this~ You CAN overcome!! I truly believe since I have started this relaxation thing, it is helping. I have become very mindful about when my shoulders and body feel tense.
Hang in there! Relax and refocus on your “why”.
Happy Playing!
