Fife, Scotland	When we practice a lesson do we need to keep to the fret positions given in the lesson or can we choose the same notes elsewhere on the guitar. Also can we submit lessons with a change in fret positions or is it a strict rule that we must adhere to the positions given in the lesson. I bring this matter up because I like to play further down the guitar (i.e. higher fret positions) due to the fact that it makes bending strings a lot easier.

However fret positions given in the lessons are the fastest and easiest way to play the whole thing, be careful it might cause bad habits !

I think it's actually a good thing to get to know where the notes are and how to reach them all over the place. I've submitted a few REC takes where I had to move a few things around like that. ... going to have the PRS re-fretted very soon. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

It is very helpful it reassurse me to know that you have submitted takes in that form. Yes I think guitar players should be able to play all over the fret board.

But after thinking about I realized I am learning to play the guitar so what may seem tougher may be the way to go. I used to (do I'm trying to break the habit) play vertically on the fret board but now if it's more difficult I'll opt for that. Anything to avoid bad habits and keep pushing the comfort zone. After a while I reckon it doesn't matter other than the texture or color to the note played on one string or another, so for me it's also what may sound appropriate. Sometimes you want it fuller sometimes twangy. Hope this helps. geo You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

If you can have the exact same result and relaxed performance, in the original recording, in my opinion, you may very well play with your toes, if possible I am exaggerating of course, but you get the picture You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Hi PosterBoy HeHeHe So that was what happened to Django Reinhardt. I did not realise that Cosmin was his mentor . Never mind it made him play better. So beware mentoring programs.
