In measure 25 of Amazing Grace (Build A Break) what fretting fingers are used for the second and third notes?
Particularly for the 3rd string, 2nd fret going to the 4th string, 4th fret ?
I’m having a problem making a smooth movement between those notes.

You’ll likely have the best results using your index and ring fingers for the 2nd and 4th frets respectively, as shown at 0:31 in the slow video:

That can be a difficult span to make at first, so don’t get discouraged if it’s not clean right away. Practicing with a good angle and loose muscles helps a lot!

Hi @kooseman Steve @Michael_Mark hit this one right on the head. Index on the 3rd string second fret and Ring finger on the 4th String 4th Fret. A partial D chord. Learn this fingering well you are going to come across this fingering alot as you progress through these lessons…
