Hi everybody! I've always wanted to learn to play the guitar, and I'm finally at a point in my life where I can do it! My husband bought me a nice acoustic for Mother's day this year, and I bought a smaller acoustic for my daughter, so now we are learning together. This site is great, because it goes through each little step for us total newbies, and we can hit 'replay' as many times as needed. What's getting to me at now is that I know where I'm supposed to put my fingers on the fretboard to play the notes, but I can't seem to get them to ring clearly. I've tried rolling my fingers around different ways, but I always get some ringing in it. I've watched the videos several times now, and even with my fingers curled around, I still can't get it to sound right. My hubby says I've got 'piano hands', not 'guitar hands'. My nails are cut pretty short for work, so its not that. I sing fairly well, and I would really love to be able to write and play my own songs, but I've hit this rock and can't seem to find a way around it! Any help would be much appreciated!
