For years, I played single notes in a way that caused tension in my hand.

The tension felt minimal, but it added up.

It also negatively affected the sound.

After a while, I discovered what I call the “inchworm technique” for the absolute best guitar scales finger placement.

This technique makes all the difference for helping melodies and scales feel smooth and relaxed.

And it’s relatively easy to start doing, even if you've been playing for years and have never done this.

When it comes to technique, the little wins add up.

This shift in your guitar scales finger placement is the low-hanging fruit for technique improvement.

Thanks for watching!

Happy practicing.
