Ahh Viki...what a charming video. I was moved by it's innocence and honesty
I know you are a keen learner, so I'm going to hazard a bit of advice....there's a couple of
things I've noticed that might help speed up your progress, and stop you falling into 'bad habits'.
The first thing I noticed was your 'posture'....you're sitting all wrong
I know you're restricted by
where you're playing. So I'm hoping you sit properly at home when you practice. Get a footrest, they are cheap
and you can take them anywhere, and it will make you sit properly. Also don't forget to practice standing up as well.
You need to drop your wrist more on your left hand, and get that pinky working as soon as possible. Try to learn and
become familiar with barre chords. This will help no end, and stop you having to use a capo so much. Also try not to
rest your arm on the body when you're strumming. Later on in your journey the right hand becomes soooo important.
Resting your arm like that, will hinder your attack and general control. So get into GOOD habits now.
In the end, guitar playing is about expression. The theory being, the more technique and musical theory you understand,
the better you'll be able to express yourself. For me, it's all about patterns and shapes. The more you play the more you'll
understand the patterns, and what notes can and can't be played with certain chords.
Of course the most important thing is that you are enjoying the journey, and are having fun along the way....
Hope you don't mind me 'chipping in'.....all in the spirit of perfection
take care xx
