I'm trying to improve my 3-finger playing, but I'm having a problem I can't seem to correct.
With my ring finger planted ( lightly ) on the head, it occasionally creeps up toward the first string so that it touches, and damps the first string. When I start a tune, I consciously make sure the finger's far enough away from the first string, but it seems to creep toward it as I play. I'm suspecting it's incorrect hand positioning, but I've tried everything I can think of, that's within reason, and I can't correct that problem. I dearly want to learn to play OT music with 3 fingers, and I'm hoping maybe some 3-finger player or teacher can offer me some advice on what I might be doing wrong. You'll have my very sincere thanks, or maybe I can even buy you a beer if you're down here in Concord NC someday.
