Hi all, I have attempted for years to play guitar without any success. I have recently started Guitar tricks (with a goal of practicing religiously for the 60 day trial period) if that works then I am in forever!! I am progressing well, mainly due to Lisa's excellent lessons (I am very left handed but have always played right handed). I am making good progress in particular my left hand is becoming more accurate and the tone from chords is a lot cleaner. The same cannot be said for my right hand!! When I pick with a plectrum and attempt to arpeggiate the accuracy is very poor. I feel this is holding me back at the moment. Could you suggest any lessons/drills/practice that would improve this technique as I feel once this improves I will be able to play several songs and make them sound good (as opposed to just strumming chords, which is not the level I want to be at) Hope you can help & hope to hear from you soon, thank you in anticipation.
