Advice

• Try not to play the wrong strings in the beginners and intermediate sections as this will make the chord sound bad.
• Use only your first finger when doing the blocking technique, otherwise you will lose the sound of the rope letting go.
• Use the fingering guide to remember finger placement and strings. You can find useful templates here.
• A chord (or chord played by using your fingers to block the string) becomes easier if you practice hard. Here are exercises to help you play the perfect blocking chord.
• When learning chords, it's not enough to know how to put your fingers. Switching from chord to chord is the real mastery. Try practicing chord changes according to these exercises to practice.

Warning

• Avoid moving your fingers too quickly or pressing too hard while playing a chord to avoid getting hurt.
