As I go back through grade 2 and 3 lessons is to run through it with little to no looking at my fingers. If I can do what I’ve learned just watching and listening to Justin, I’m getting there. It also helps one get in proper posture.

I am working at this as well. I am bad at it…
Good endeavor, though.
You play like you practice so practicing no looking at your finger is a good thing that most people never do. Same as memorizing songs. If you never practice memorizing you never will.
It’s a great feeling when that happens for the first time.
I also find I notice different things when I play without looking…extra tension when I play a certain chord, tone is muffled, and so on.
When you stop looking, you can feel more, and hear more…
…which is certainly going to improve your playing!
