I started yesterday
When practicing the basic chromatic scale descending, I hear noticeable string noise when I lift my middle and ring fingers off the strings. Is there any way to fix this?
Yes! You can practice very slowly.
You should move your fingers as little as possible and try to use less pressure.
Maybe you should start chromatic scale around 5th fret so that you can move your finger straight from the strings so that your fingers will not scratch the strings.
PS, Did you watch this lesson video?
