The end of a piece is indicated by a light and heavy line.

arises.

HOLDING THE GUITAR IN PLAYING POSITION IN SITTING POSITION Sit erect in a straight chair and cross the left leg over the right knee. Place the guitar (lower curved part) on the left leg about halfway between the knee and the hip. Raise the neck of the instrument so that the head is approximately in line with your left shoulder. Hold the guitar rather firmly (but not tight) against the body with the right arm just below the elbow. The right hand and wrist should be completely relaxed.

Many performers prefer to cross the right leg over the left knee. ways and use the one which is most comfortable for you.

Try both

THE LEFT HAND

THE LEFT HAND Place the thumb against the under side of the neck approximately in line with the first fret, The wrist should be well arched bringing the

hand above the strings. Allow the tips of the fingers to fall straight down upon the strings. THE PALM OF THE HAND SHOULD TOUCH THE NECK. "^TOT

HOLDING THE PICK

HOLDING THE PICK The pick (large rounded cnd) is held lightly between the thumb and curved first finger of the right hand. Use as little of the point as possible for the best tone. The more point you use the greater will be the string resistance thus resulting in a poor hard tone. Rest the little finger on the instrument to help the hand. The strings are plucked with the pick slanting downward.

IN THE tsEGINNING YOU MIGHT FIND IT EASIER TO PLUCK THE STRINGS WITH THE THUMB OF THE RIGHT HAND.

After you are able to locate the different strings readily you might try using thc pick.
