The most important thing it to RELAX the arm and just have enough tension to hold on top the pick 2- Picking is a small motion that should be done with movement of the wrist only Resting the wrist is optional, but I think it will help most people be more accurate with their picking 3- Putting chord fingers down one at a time Try making the shape of the chord with your fingers before putting the fingers down 4- Not knowing where the beat falls and understand 'ghost strums' (hand movements that you don't strum) 5- Not building a repertoire of songs 🎸ALL ANDY'S GUITAR COURSES https://www.andyguitar.co.uk/shop/tags/downloads 📚 ANDY'S GUITAR TUITION DVDS AND BOOKS https://www.andyguitar.co.uk/shop 📖 Andy's Recommended Songbooks https://www.andyguitar.co.uk/shop/songbooks/ 🎸Andy's Recommended guitar, amps & gear https://www.andyguitar.co.uk/shop/guitars/ Official Website http://www.andyguitar.co.uk/ Facebook https://www.facebook.com/andyguitarlessons/ Instagram https://www.instagram.com/realandyguitar/
