Hello Gabriel! First of all I want to thank you for this nice lesson. I have started practicing it and I really love it, but there is one spot where I got a problem and want to ask you for tips.
That is the stretch you are doing from fifth to third fret. When I attempt to do it while playing, my pinky hurts and I feel the whole wrist has a bad tension.  I've watched the video many times to have the hand placed as precised as I could, but that way I feel tension. I have to hold guitar like classical one to manage the stretch. Maybe you could give me any helpful tip(s) how to improve my stretch not hurting the hand itself (yeah im pretty weak in stretches).Overall the lesson is great! I can play any other parts at 95bpm with no problem. I'm already playing it over and over again. Thanks in advance. //fl -------------------- It doesn't matter how much time you spend if you don't know the correct things to do, and the correct way of doing those things. Fifteen minutes of correct practice will do you more good, than 5 hours of incorrect, unintelligent practice. Bad practice just makes you better at playing badly!

You have to be carefull when you are practicing this type of stretch when you are practicing. I suggest you to traspose that position to the 12th fret and play the chord.. then move it one fret down and then other. Practicing this every day will make you feel more confortable with it. You you feel that your hand hurts stop and relax for a while. gabriel.- -------------------- |
