I’m having trouble with the thumb wrap chords. Does anyone have any hints about how to increase the flexibility and reach of my thumb and pinky fingers?

Thanks,

I don’t see any prior instruction on the thumb wrap rolls. Some help?

You can check out the Will The Circle (Backup) lesson. I believe I discussed the thumb wrap technique there.

I can also do a lesson in the future that focuses exclusively on this technique.

Thanks for the request.

Is there any tab to reflect what you’re actually playing in this lesson?
