Q&A : How to eliminate buzzing while playing chords? | Proper guitar positioning | Be the Community (Patreon)

Watch this video if you struggle with buzzing & muted strings while playing chords

This month's community-chosen song Noku Mana brought up some challenges in our community with regards to proper guitar and hand positioning (mainly with the F barre-chord  & Dm chord).

In our online video platform, several community members asked questions or showed videos of themselves struggling with the chord transitions in Noku Mana.

This video gives a quick summary of the advice I've been giving the members with regards to guitar positioning.

I suggest 3 options to support a good playing posture and guitar positioning:

1. Foot stool / foot rest

2. Yoga brick(s) below the foot

3. Ergoplay device

In the video I explain:

- Why the cause for buzzing is often wrong positioning of the guitar itself

- Tips for proper guitar positioning

- Left hand thumb positioning

- Left hand wrist angle

- Left hand fingers angle
