The problem, of course, is that without a solid foundation of basic guitar skills it’s difficult to progress to more advanced techniques and maintain accuracy. The end result is almost always a sloppy player.
To avoid this situation it’s important to pay attention to the fundamental aspects of guitar, especially if you’re just starting out, as it’s much harder to correct a bad habit once it’s been ingrained over a period of time.
This tutorial shows you how to position your fingers correctly to avoid fret buzz and shows you a few pitfalls to watch out for on you way to flawless fretting technique.
He's using an amazing guitar to show you.... how to avoid fret-buzz. Do some shredding!
