Hello Ruby,

Could you do another video post on the Facebook Group of you playing through a few progressions? And maybe put the camera closer to your hand so I can see clearly what you are doing. I will be able to give you clearer direction on your problem areas.

But in general, I will say that the main problem with your pinky and ring finger is lack of strength. It may take a month…Read More

Hey Allen, the clean chords practice and the muscle memory practice will help overcome these challenges. Don’t get discouraged right away. It will take some time and consistent practice for your fingers to learn these new positions. But it will come as long as you don’t give up!

You can also play the Am7 without your pinky finger down, which is easier. But it may make your transitions…Read More
