@ Niels, I love it.
I also agree the guitar is cool

@Spiker, as Bill Brown said, generally you use 1 finger per fret. In other words you cover 4 frets without moving your hand.
So the first fret would be your index finger, The second fret is your middle finger, the third fret is your ring finger, and the fourth fret is your pinky.
Assuming that is what you are doing, it may be just a matter of getting your hands looser. This will come with time.
In the beginning it is best to play as recommended. This will help develop good habits and build finger dexterity. However eventually you start recognizing your limitations or simply learn an easier way. When you get to that point there is nothing wrong with using a different fingering to accomplish what you want to play.

Great job.
I love playing that riff. It is very relaxing for me. I hope I play it as smoothy as you some day..

Cool, Isn’t it amazing that a minor shift like that can make a world of deference. Good win
-
@DeannaS so how did the adjustment you made feel? How did the heavier strings feel. Was there a specific reason you went to heavier strings?

Congratulations 🎸

Thanks for the replies. That was helpful but I don’t think it was what I was looking at before. I remember Tony talking about “My Home Page”

Awesome, I am impressed

@Socal_ian, I did the same thing recently and it really helped.
I have a gauge and instructions said to measure at the 12th fret. It seems to me there are three areas to adjust string height, The nut the bridge and the neck relief via the truss rod. If you are measuring at the 12th fret, it seems to me that the strings could be to low or high at either the nut or the bridge end of the fretboard. How does one know the proper height at the ends of the fretboard? Any Comments

Bingo that was it. Thank you everyone, My question has been answered.

“middle finger on the 2nd fret of the D string” is a lot for my brain to process
I have to laugh, That’s how I feel.
