  8. “blocking” • To avoid finger blisters, it is very important to alternate periods of playing with non-playing during the first few days of guitar class. If your left hand begins to hurt, you should PLACE THE LEFT HAND CHORD WITHOUT PRESSING DOWN ON THE STRINGS (this is called blocking). This gives effective practice on the chord shape and saves fingers.
