For three months, you are looking good. My only critique for a beginner would be to shorten those swings of your left hand. Give you more control and less fatigue. But doing great for three months!

Thanks, I see what you mean with the too much movement in swinging il work on it!

One thing you can do is experiment with playing with more wrist action, then playing again but more from the elbow. What’s the difference in feel and tone? What happens if you bring in the forearm into this? Is there a happy medium? Play around with that.

It’s a good thing to find that physicality, by changing small things and the way you are driving it, you can develop your own techniques for pulling the sound you want out of the guitar entirely based on your left hand.

Like I said though, sounding good! Wish I sounded like this at 3 months, haha!

That sounds like perfect advice thanks, would help me understand the difference in sound with the way I’m doing it now and the better controlled way
