left hand flexibility
I've only been playing the guitar for a short time. Does anyone know any exercises for increasing flexibility in the left hand. I am having trouble with finger placement for G chord using the fourth finger.

Hi there, i have been playing guitar for a short while also (3 mths to be exact). Anyway concerning the G-chird, i either use the 1 2 3 fingering or i just skip out on the B and E strings entirely. I guess i should start forcing myself to play the full G-chord but it just takes too much stress.

This is one of my lessons to help your fingers reach further, but may help you in this situation.
