Righty. Ok, I won't worry too much about it. I'm just struggling to feel relaxed and confident when I play, and anchoring gave me some stability and confidence. I can't anchor my pinky on the body though cus it feels too restrictive.

I'm very stiff and tight when I play. I think I'm holding a lot of tension in my body and struggling to loosen up. This makes it particularly hard to enter the groove zone - because you need to be loose and relaxed. When I'm stiff I can't lock in and my rhythm becomes mediocre. And when I force myself to be relaxed my right hand gets a bit wishy washy when it's not anchored and can start hitting wrong strings.

This guitar stuff is hard!
