Hello all,

I'm brand new, just joined yesterday after picking up my old Peavey Raptor for the first time in over seven years.

I didn't get to far with it before and I'm getting discouraged now because I can't seem to only press one string at a time. The fleshy bit of my fingertips are constantly muting the strings next to the ones I am holding.

I'm just wondering if this is because I am new and not holding my hand correctly or if I truly need a wider neck guitar? Is it this a common problem?

Thanks,
Rearden
