I'm having trouble with Fundamentals 1 Chapter 4 because some of the fingering is hard (my hands aren't that big). In the video, the instructor wasn't moving his hands much, so each finger was always ready for its next job. I had to move my hands a lot more, so some of the fingering was hard, even looking, and very hard not looking.
Also, when I decided to see what was in Chapter 5, the F was really hard. I had most of the strings sounding good, but I just couldn't get the high E.
If anyone is wondering, I'm playing an acoustic guitar (the kind with the softer, gentler strings.)
I found Lisa McCormick's spider legs warm-up, and I'm probably going to try doing that some more. Is there anything else that could help me?
A lifetime is too short for music but music is plenty for a lifetime. I don't know who said this first and I know I'm not remembering it right, but it's SO true!
