no
with your left hand hold the string.
with the right, stretch the string up, down, and side to side. Move from the bridge to the nut.
be careful with the little guys, they dont like to be stretched too much.
Tune them to standard after every stretch. The strings will hold tune better if you keep them there.

Dunno if that is good or bad, one was looking a little freyed and I was playing around and boing, one broke.
One set of strings, I know 3 chords and my fingers are permanently numb. However it is very theraputic, i do enjoy it even if I dont know ****!

look up some of the jimmy buffett songs, they are all just simple chords.....
i kinda like to see it too, i got the led zep dvd and it turns out i was playing the ocean totally wrong, for years!
its a look left and flip the picking hand to the right (i'm a lefty, so its backwards)

His older stuff is really simple, newer is a little bit different.
I pulled a bunch of various artists, but I am not to that point yet
