Hello David

 

In ex. 2.3 I have big difficulties to know what is the right way to do it. what can I do? 

I do not know what is the right way to do it .  I do not know if it is good or not and i have nobody that can say me that is corect.

There is problem with notes that are mising in your charts. I dont know how to approach it...wich note to play instead of the missing notes ...or  maybe I must stay  on the same  note...how to play 5 hole with just 1 note ...etc...

 

Please tell me if you can how to aproach it and what to do next....?

 

Thanks !

M.

Hello tovarnica. If you watch

Hello tovarnica. If you watch my lesson videos I state that you should move up or down a hole when a chord comes that you're not able to play.

For example. Hole 2. The I Chord is G B D, so you can play 2 draw G. The IV Chord is C E G, so you can play 2 draw G or 2+ E. The V Chord is D F# A, and there is no note available if you stay on hole 2, so move down to hole 1 and play D, the root note.
