Hello
Great lesson for a great song, so much fun to learn and it really helps with breaking out of some of the more traditional fingerpicking patterns.
Currently I’m struggling with switching quickly from the “straight bar at the second fret chord” to the “kind of Bm7 shape chord” without muting/buzzing notes, in the fingerstyle parts as well as in the strumming parts.
I feel like the straght bar demands a slightly different wrist position to make the finger lay down perpendicular on the frets whereas I would need to have a slight angle to lay down the other fingers for the Bm7-shape chord. Also, I find that pressing my 1st finger down makes it really hard for me to move my 2nd, 3rd and 4th finger, the movement feels very blocked.
Maybe anyone has some tips/cues for me?a
