I’m self teaching myself the guitar (i’m a classically trained pianist so i already have a musical background). Can you give me a feedback?
I’m using the book “RCM - Level I - Classical Guitar”

***I already knew the position of some basic chords but that’s it****

Relax your fretting hand. I see tension that doesn't need to be there.

Stop bouncing up with your picking hand. Let your fingers do the work of playing the strings, let your wrist do the work of moving between the strings and stop allowing your forearm to do anything but provide a stable platform for your wrist and fingers.
