View post (learning the chords with fat fingers)
View thread
[FONT=Tahoma]I decided the other day to learn guitar...I'm on day 5. I'm doing ok teaching myself, but am having trouble learning chords. The problem is that I can't seem to arch my fingers enough to hold down the needed string and not stop the one above and below it from playing. I've heard I need to be patient and just practice, but are there any other suggestions how to get my fingers and wrist used to bending that awkwardly? Thanks.[/FONT] :confused:
