In the conclusion (Part 9 ...1.00 minutes in) to the lesson you state that sometimes fingering changes that make the sound a little better
are ridiculously difficult and make the song not fun to play!

Can you give an example of a song(s) where you would make such a ridiculously difficult change at the expense of having no fun playing the song?
What expression would you scream after playing the song?
:woohoo:

On the other hand what song(s) in your opinion benefit from such a change that you might have fun playing after mastering the pain :S ? :ohmy:

:)

Thanks

Dermot

HI Dermot, the fun is not to play a chord but to master it with patience and repetittion. If you change song because there is a difficult chords or riff, then your repertoire will be 3 chords songs for ever
