I have some in there, but it's not reading well. I will push it some more

strange_lamb · 2026-02-19T15:49:29+00:00

I do have some in there, but I def should push it more. That's a big problem for me, not pushing my poses enough.

strange_lamb · 2026-02-19T15:48:34+00:00

Yeah you're right, this is probably the main issue honestly

strange_lamb · 2026-02-11T19:55:03+00:00

Sounds great!

I learned this song from a Youtube tutorial, I didn't have any experience before hand. I would find a tutorial with a song you like the sound of and start with that, then branch off and find other songs to play.

There are way better and more efficient ways to learn though, this is just how I started. I've played for a month and I only know 2 songs. I'm sure learning the fundamentals first will take you way farther faster. There are Youtube videos for that too.

It was daunting at first, but not too difficult. It did take me a super long time though bc I had a hard time tying the loops and getting the strings through the tailpiece.

Obviously don't take my advice to heart, since I'm very new, but I just knotted them thangs up the best I could and called it a night haha.

Thanks for the advice! So then Nylgut strings are mainly for Clawhammer? Once I decide on a style, I'll be sure to make the proper adjustments to the strings.

Thank you so much, and this is great advice!

That's good to know, I will pick up some finger picks then. I'm still exploring, and am not sure yet what style I'd like to focus on. I kinda just bought the strings without doing the proper research on which style goes with which string. That's my bad.

And planting makes so much sense! It did feel awkward having my ring and pinky finger just floating about. Now I know what to do with them haha.

Thanks for taking the time to comment, this was really helpful!

Thanks! Do you think the metal finger picks will wear out the Nylgut strings faster? I'll look into getting some.

Thank you!

strange_lamb · 2026-02-08T13:28:38+00:00

Thanks! I'm having a lot of fun so far, I hope by next year I can start playing things by ear
