Hi, how do I add a lesson to my practice, please?

Hi @Niksmith1410, at the end of each module, you will find a pre-made practice routine encompassing all you have learned in that module. In the last couple of lessons of module 1 Justine explains how to use the practice assistant and how to load the pre-made routines in the assistant.

@LadyOfTheCastle Is this any different than using the practice part of the app?

@LadyOfTheCastle Iā€™ve noticed that the inside of my hand touches the back of the guitar when Iā€™m playing the D chord, idk if thatā€™s bad? I just canā€™t seem to get a strong hold on the chord. Maybe Iā€™ll try to post a picture later and see if I can get any more specific advice on what Iā€™m doing wrong?

Hey @toodledoodledoo, I know you asked @LadyOfTheCastle, but Iā€™ll offer this: have a look at the Grade 1 Module 1 video, especially beginning at 6:15. :smiling_face:

@judi Iā€™ve watched it many times, as recently as last night again. I just canā€™t seem to figure out how to replicate it. :frowning:

Whereā€™s your thumb resting against the neck? And which direction is it pointing?

Yes and no. itā€™s the same exercises. But on the website, you will have to load the routine in the practice assistant (no worries, thereā€™s a lesson on how to do this in module 1 - itā€™s easy). On the website, you can also create your own exercises and practice routines, but you donā€™t need that for now.

With the A and E, your fingers will be mostly going vertically, going from below the neck more or less straight up. For the D, youā€™ll want your fingers more to go slanted, pointing up and forwards toward the body if your guitar. This wil help with your reach.
