Hi,
I have a problem with my down strum where my finger nail hits the fretboard just before hitting the strings. This makes a terrible clicking sound on the recordings.
The video below is a sound file from my recording, since youtube doesn't allow just a sound file, I've included a picture to show where my nail is contacting the fretboard. In this sound file, you can hear a "click" at the beginning on down strums; this is when my nail strikes the fretboard.
I've been practicing to strum more accurately, but the setup is low and hard to aim just for the strings with missing the top string. It's been a few weeks and I'm not making much progress on my own.
Hoping to get some help here...
Thanks!
