Playing The Guitar And Using Enough Pressure

If you are a beginning guitar player, no matter what your age, your main challenge is pressing your fingers down with enough pressure to get a good sound. It’s incredibly frustrating to hear your guitar clanking, buzzing, blipping away while you practice. You may be tempted to just smash your guitar into a million pieces, but hang on, there’s a simple solution.

1.) Slow down.
2.) Make sure you press your fingers down close to the metal fret, and press firmly and HOLD your finger down for a split-second longer.
3.) Use the tips of your fingers.

Concentrate on being accurate, not fast. This will build your muscle memory and will in turn improve your tone.
