- Move on to the next song(s) in your exercise pages after Mary had a Little Lamb.
- Make sure both your picking and your strumming motions are primarily wrist twist/rotation/flick movements, with any arm or finger movements being only supplementary to that.
- Whoever is playing rhythm should stick to consistent patterns (all quarter notes, for example) from now on, rather than following the rhythm of the melody as we had done before.
- Make sure to fret your chords and notes with the correct fingers to avoid unnecessary motion and to increase your left hand confidence to move by feel.
- Make sure not to create any unnecessary tension in your hands and avoid any other form issues we've identified for each of you. Self-monitoring is important, but you can also help keep track of these things for each other to make sure you stay on track and are aware of your form.
- Always practice with the metronome!
- Remember to continue to sing the melody whenever you practice one, and to sing loudly.
It's All in the Wrist
