So today I was going thru Lisa's basic lessons and after she teaches 4 songs and I was having issues going back and forth to Am.

So while she was talking, I dropped the pick and was playing random simple chords with just the side of my thumb. Oddly, my left hand suddenly started functioning 10x better! I can't explain it but when I was strumming with just my thumb I had absolutely no problem shifting from chord to chord.

So tomorrow I'm thinking about trying the pick that wraps around the thumb, because eventually I want to learn how to play metal music and I'm thinking a pick is eventually going to be needed. Anyone else notice this?


Getting back into guitar after lengthy lessons when I was a kid. Starting over with an electric guitar. My ultimate goal is to learn how to play Thunderstruck!
