Find the perfect position for the fingers of your top hand
⚡ The Short Version
Proper finger position keeps your hands relaxed and allows clean, fast playing. Optimal position depends on your finger lengths; forcing your fingers to line up leads to bent joints and tension.
Place your index finger on the second pad and keep your fingers naturally straight. Angle your hand so your finger tips point slightly downward, not using the tips, to achieve relaxed control.
