Staying Relaxed

1. Practice your chord progression of D, C, A, E, G.
2. Practice in small chunks using the Rule of Five (five consecutive good reps before moving on), then build chunks together.
3. Try to stay relaxed and remember to take your time. Set yourself up for success.
4. Try to learn more landmarks on the fretboard starting with the notes on the dots.
5. Keep practicing going up the fretboard and naming the notes as you go.
