Hello all - I am new here and to the guitar, a couple months on the guitar, but have been playing the mandolin for a little over a year. I understand the difficulties and practice required in order to make cords when you must go after frets and strings that are quite a far reach.

Is there an area on here that addresses some of the best positions, for example, your arm, wrist, etc. when one finger is holding a string down close to your hand and another must reach way across without touching another - any "tricks" - or things that work for others that we can try for ourselves to see what works for us when different cords call for different positions other than good sound guitar posture? I think I've just made zero sense. I know it's what works for each person, I just wondered if anything was addressed like that.

I started at the very basic area and stayed with it for a good while - then there are sections on strumming, picking, chord changes, but I don't see anything on hints on helping on make them. If anyone has a clue to my mystery message I'd appreciate some direction. Thank you and my best to all. Harry McCormick
