Hi, I’m new to playing guitar. I was practicing single notes of song (All we know, intro) and it is surprisingly difficult to pick right string at right time without looking at my picking hand.

So should I learn to press right notes blindly or picking blindly as I can’t look at both simultaneously.

Strumming feels much easier as I only have to look at fretboard. I tried muting strings which I’m not playing but it sounds bad.

    You should look wherever you need to in order to play the correct notes.

    And you should practice playing those notes a lot. Your hands and fingers will develop muscle memory and it will get better. Just practice.
