Guitar Tips for This Piece
Finger Placement
Press strings just behind the fret wire for clean notes. Keep your thumb behind the neck.
One String at a Time
Start by playing the melody on a single string before adding more complexity.
Build Calluses
Practice in short sessions (10-15 min) at first. Your fingertips will develop calluses over time.
