    • Exercise for the missing string?

      I really really sorry for my english, i am italian.

      I was trying to search the internet for those suffering from this problem but I never find anything about it
      I never find information
      I'll show you two photos (which are just simple scenarios that can happen while I'm playing) limitedly represent what I mean.
      it is a problem that can happen even just playing, BUT MAINLY ONLY IN FINGERSTYLE

      In the first photo:
      0_1630656843522_0026d0d21dcd8d9b159afb098afe2a8a.jpeg
      I show that it can happen that with all my fingers I do not get a good grip on the string that I have to press.
      As if I were slipping, or trying to reach it, I don't know why the finger ends up under the rope.
      In this case I had to play string A
      But my finger even if I try to reach it automatically ended up under the rope and I don't know why. (attention: it can happen if I play fast BUT SOMETIMES even slowly so the problem is there)

      In the second photo:
      0_1630656880431_d6fb0785ea785aa56f9ce928510734ba.jpeg

      Instead I show how the finger takes the string but (often ONLY WITH THE E STRING) somehow slips making me take the string not really '' well '' with a slightly lower part of the finger where it is usual to press a string. (I don't know if I made you understand well)

      MY SOLUTIONS THAT I DON'T KNOW IF THEY CAN HELP ME:
      Since I am self-taught and I learned the guitar by myself, I never did any technical exercises. Never in my life and this thing gave me the motivation to FINALLY start DOING IT.
      I have been playing with the metronome for 4 days doing EXERCISES.
      These (easy) exercises, however, I DON'T KNOW IF THEY ARE RIGHT TO ME and if they can help me, please take a look.

      exercises I'm talking about you can see them at minute 2:58
      I'm playing with the metronome (and I never did)
      I like it but I don't know if it can give me the results I'm looking for. Does this exercise seem useful to you? do you have others?

      I have been playing the guitar for almost 4 years and I can also do some fingerstyle pieces by tommy emmanuel but I realize I make mistakes and I don't like it. I WANT TO LEARN, thanks if someone will answer and give me advice too.
