In that time it has become very apparent to me that my hand size is a huge issue. :confused:

I thought I would start by learning the major chords but so far I can only manage A, C, and D. B and F seem impossible. Even if I manage to stretch my fingers to the correct strings, they are way to stretched to even think about attempting to play. I know that it takes time, and I know that fingers get used to things but how can I improve if I cant even reach to play basic chords? Getting another guitar is not an option right now, and I have gotten discouraged to the point of rarely playing. I also have a palm pilot with a chord program on it that shows 4 different ways to play chords.......and this hasnt even helped.

I would really appreciate any advice, and no ukelele jokes!!! :D
