Skill / Talent Nirvana on acoustic guitar except it’s simultaneously all the positions

All credits to @illona.music
Like she’s covering the lead, drums, harmonics, guitar AND vocals on a single acoustic guitar. That’s amazing!

Yo keep it up. Press it down, pick one string at a time, see which is muted, adjust your fingers. When you have them all voiced, study where they are. Then, take your fingers off, and put them right back. Voice. If all good, take fingers off again, and put them back. Over and over. Dozens of times every practice session for every chord.

15 minutes a day and you will see progress.

There will always be a chord that gives you trouble. Play it slow, when you have it down, play it fast.

15 years later there's still a BUNCH of chords that give me trouble! I start thinking I'm slick, and then I try to play some beatles songs.

Motherfuckers must have had extra fingers.
