    Pressing too hard

    Thank you, those steps seem reasonable I'll try them as soon as I get my hands on my guitar, unfortunately for me I can play the pentatonic scale pretty decently but I still struggle when playing songs and I have to move up and down the fret, mostly the ring finger and the index do all the work...

    Fretting hand

    hi there! Its like you read my mind I've been advised to keep my fretting hand low at this beginner stage, but I can't help but find that my thumb is behind the neck of the guitar sometimes even peeking, I tried to lower my wrist but it's kind of tense and uncomfortable, so 🤷‍♀️

    Fretting hand

    Alright! Sounds logical because as you said making my brain focus on one or two fingers at a time will make me know exactly where to put that finger for the note to sound right, and then move to another finger, as for weakest finger I can play all the other chords just fine until I have to...

    Fretting hand

    Update! Guys I sacrificed my fretting hand's fingernails today, I clipped them as short as I could, it actually helped with the buzzing and the muted notes, even though it still feels weird but I think as @Calvin Phillips said if they are in the way away they go 😅 Thank you all for the tips

    Fretting hand

    Well I think it's caused by my playing since when I readjust my fretting fingers it sounds just like its supposed to sound. Thank you Lindsey, I'll look up those finger independence exercises I definitely need them.
