I looked for video based courses online and soon found this website which so far seems to be clear and concise for a beginner to start to try and pick up the basics before progressing on.
My problem is with the very first chord, the simple C major chord. I mean, how difficult can it be to place your index finger on a string without interfering with the strings either side!
Well, in my case it seems almost impossible. Every which way I try to place the tip of my finger on the string I touch one or both of the other two strings.
Is it possible that I have fat finger tips, and if so do they make a guitar with a wider than normal fretboard to space the strings out a little further. I bet this is a really basic question and it has been asked time and time again by beginners since the guitar was invented but I'd at least like some reassurance thatthis is a normal problem.
