How to shorten a string & increase pitch by fretting a note, and common buzzing issues. 5. Practice 1234 fingers and frets on each string. 6. How to use a tuner (feel free to help your child) 7. Leave with a win - a song they can hear and repeat that's super easy. I use "Nothing Else Matters" - Metallica because it's all open strings for the intro. Wyatt thanks you for watching! -- Michael
