In this lesson, I will show you an easy exercise to practice that will make sure your frethand is in the proper position for playing scales and bar chords. As I mention in the video lesson, there are many playing instances when this “perfect“ hand position is not suitable. For things like open chords, bends and vibrato, I more angled hand position is preferable and more natural to your hands. But, for a majority of chord and scale playing, having the your palm parallel to the bottom of the fretboard with the proper amount of spacing, along with arched fingers that come down straight onto the string will be the most economical way to play. Economical meaning that it requires the least amount of finger pressure as possible along with being the most mobile.
