Thanks for this great lesson – Im a beginner and this is the first song Ive learned from your course. Making good progress and just having one issue. I try to follow the finger placing guidance in the tab but cannot seem to use my second finger effectively for hammer-ons to the next fret where my first finger is already down (as recommended in the tab – for example from 2nd to 3rd fret hammer ons). It feels very awkward. So I use my first finger on the 2nd fret and hammer onto the 3rd with my third finger instead of my second one. My question is, does this matter? Am I starting a bad habit or is it ok to carry on doing what Im doing? Advice appreciated. Cheers 🙂
