I know it's natural to do that, but if you look at your LEFT hand, your right hand will automaticly hit the right strings almost every time. When I teach fingerpicking, after the first lesson when they come back, I hold a piece of paper over their right hand so they can't see it, and they are always amazed that they can play the piece without looking. | ||

I do have one suggestion. Don't look at your right hand. It's quite strange because I spent most of the first week reading the tab while playing - it's only when I don't have anything to look at that my eyes gravitate to my right hand. I really appreciate your assistance - Thanks :) | ||
