Try this: put your fingers so that your middle is in front of your index and ring fingers, almost like the shape of a full-sized braille notetaker's keyboard, but, of course, sideways. Your fingers don't have to be lined up exactly with each other; let them spread, but don't be afraid to move them toward or away from each other. It's like an A chord; you can't put all three fingers side by side, you have to stagger them or they'll never fit and you mute strings.

Very odd, and sorry it isn't working. > On Jan 31, 2013, at 7:07 PM, Christopher-Mark Gilland <[email protected]> > wrote: > >> The odd thing is just as I started getting it to work consistently, I put >> the phone down for not even a matter to just eat dinner, come back, and now, >> even holding the phone correctly, I'm not only getting the results I got >> earlier, but it's doing all kind of random letters.
