ok if you have your guitar like right next to you...wich you probably do, pick it up and put ur ring finger on the 9th fret of the g string. ok no lean the finger tip towards the high e string til it touches the b string. ok now imagine that ALWAYS happening even when you make your fingertips vertical. how do i stop this or work around it?
Fingers
Sorry for making a new thread. very newbish of me to do, but i couldnt figure out how to search this specific thing. ok when i play guitar, sometimes when i need to play faster stuff theres like this ball of whatever you wanna call it inside the flat of my finger tip, and it sometimes mutes the next string the im about to play. ill try to go into detail about this but it might not work out.

Major drag when there's little weird things that make fingering harder.
Unfortunately, there ain't a whole lot you can do except either learn to live with it, or find alternate ways to play chords or leads.
I think everybody has some idiosyncrisy that make guitar playing harder.
Personally, I've got a little finger on my left hand that shoots straight out whenever I press my first finger on a fret. So playing shred leads is really hard cause my little finger is always pointing out straight and takes too much time to get back to playing the note. About the only thing I could do to overcome it was to learn tapping so I could play fast leads. Either that or learn to play alternate scales so that my little finger wasn't involved.
Just keep at it and eventually you'll subconsciously learn to compensate for any weird finger problems.
Just keep in mind that it takes months or years until the learned habits come naturally.

My 1st Question is????
How big are your callous on your fingertips?? If there really wide you can take an emeryboard and file them so they come more to the point.
2nd ?? :rolleyes:
what is the action on your guitar?? If it's to high you may be having to use to much pressure concequently flattening your fingertip too much. ;)
