What are you playing at the moment?

I use my little finger for the 4th button, which I find makes things much easier. When I move onto the Hard level songs I position my hand on the right of the buttons, and use my 1st finger for the 1st and 2nd buttons (unless I need to use two fingers for a chord). It's got to the point now though where I move around with my fingers as needed, I have a good idea in my head where my fingers are most of the time so I can move around with less problems.

Have you done the Top Gear theme tune? (Jessica) It looked proper hard when Phil did it. And that was on easy :/

It does seem to be the case that guitarists find it harder. Drz played it when he was here for the Liverpool Meet, and despite being a good guitarist he really struggled on it. I used to play myself, but not to a good standard, and have found that the finger dexterity I gained definitely helps.

As for Jessica, I can play it perfectly on Medium level, and not got that far yet on Hard (though I suspect to start with it will kick my ass, I'm passing the Hard songs first time generally but almost always with 3 stars).
