Hello, 


I am looking for the best advice tips I can find on improving over time. At the moment I am practically starting from scratch/ no experience. I have learned a few chords, I am confident in reading tab but my playing speed and confidence in finger positioning seems to be my biggest struggle. I am always looking up at the neck to make sure my fingers are in the right place, this can cause a delay for me. 


My current daily practice regimen consists of, I try the lessons for about 20-30 minutes, then I'll try playing some scales without looking at my hands to remove that need to look at the neck. after finishing with scales I usually just have some fun and try to learn songs on my own just from ultimate tab. I am wondering if there are any specific tips you may have that either helped you learn or just get more comfortable with the fretboard.

Thank you for taking the time to read this, all the best!
