Yeah it sucks having fat fingers. My fingers are so fat that I have trouble with the A Major Chord :eek: My first finger is near the bottom of the first fret and I really gotta push that sucker down.

I too am a beginner but I don't think there is much to take the place of the guitar. If you pick it up everyday even for just a few minutes you will be surprised how your short fingers start to grow :D
