Hello everybody, it is a challenge to start guitar from the begining when you’re used to play guitar for a long time ! A challenge but a hapiness too ! Here is my issue of the day : it is hard for me to mute the strings with my first finger when a do Bb and with my thumb and first finger when I do Eb. My fingers don’t seem to understand the idea of not putting the same pression on each string at the same time…
Do you understand ? Have you ever been in that situation too ?Do you have tips for me to overcome this obstacle ? I really enjoy to work on these little specific details before it becomes a bad habit to ignore how bad it sounds.
Thank you very much.
Thank you Christine! So happy to hear that.
It is very hard to master this technique.
Practice more chromatic scale so your can train your fingers!
1212 3212 3432 1234....
4343 2343 2123 4321....
I think many members can tell you their own experiences.
It will take about 3-4 weeks to master these fingerings.
Bb7 = 2 3 4 fingers
Eb7 = 2 1 3 fingers
Very subtle angle can change so much!
Please be patient for this. You can do this eventually!
Have you ever just practice each chord for a few minutes each?
Thank you.

Play very slow and try to feel how your fingers are touching the strings. I even close my eyes to feel the strings and understand where and why the noises come from.
Thank you Christian!
