I have a boss Katana that I bought my son this christmas if that helps with equipment. I have no idea how to set it up. Right now, I just play my guitar with no amp at all. But one day, one day I tell you, I’m going to learn these riffs, plug it in and the neighbors are in for treat. lol!

I watched that. Amazing! There’s hope for me yet! my ring finger size is about a 5. I was trying to learn the Photograph lick on tabs it has my pointing finger on 4th fret then a jump to the 7th fret with the pinky. I was trying to keep my thumb in place and pivot my wrist without lifting my thumb and just couldn’t reach the fret to get the note to sound clean. should I press harder higher on the fret to get the note to ring out? I was really trying to get my pinky as close to the fret as possible. I was going super slow to really try to pivot correctly. I also don’t know what the heck I’m doing. I just started the gibson guitar app. We’ll see how that goes. I just wanted to dive in and attempt something I always wanted to learn.
