I got to the point where the B major is introduced in the beginner lessons and moved on to trying other things in the way of all the free lessons on youtube and etc. Mainly because my middle and index fingers just wont stretch enough to fret the B and F# in that pattern. I learned to play a few fun things away from this site but came back because I want to learn it right.
So this morning I'm trying again. It's frustrating as hell! The F chord is a beast as well. I'm a strong guy, I'm athletic and have way above average grip strength, but even if I do get my hands in the position to make these chords happen, I just can't mash the strings hard enough. I'm going to switch to an electric guitar sooner or later, hopefully that will help.
So am I best off trying to stretch my hands and exercise them until I can get them in the suggested patterns for the B and F chord, or should I just go forward with different patterns?
