View post (fat tipped fingers?)
View thread
I was wondering if anyone has any tips for fat tipped fingers. I am totaly new and only started playing 6 days ago. I am trying to play just a couple of cords but I'm finding that my fat tips of my fingers are getting in the way. The middle finger the most being I cut off the tip a few years ago and even tho there is a full finger there the tip is rather flat. They keep touching other strings and once they are ajusted there is very little room for error if they move or shift. Also I have noticed that the fat meaty part (first knuckle) of the 1st finger tends to also hit the 1st string from under the neck and it presses on it when playing. It's very hard to adjust this so it wont press on the string. It happens most when I try to take the 1st finger and place it at the 6th string. Any ideas would be great.
