Hey there, I had a one year membership here at guitar tricks. And I was quite satisfied with the service of the site, and how you guys learn us noobs and "pros" to play guitar. Then I came over a huge obstacle which in the end made me quit playing. But now I really, REALLY want to learn how to overcome it.
What made me quit playing in the first place was that I had/have a big problem with barring combined with finger grips. I just seem to not have long enough or loosen fingers to do it! I was wondering if you guys one time had these issues, and how did you learn to do these grips. Some of the grips I struggle hard with are for example. The C majors and minors. It really makes my finger cramp up, and it takes a while to get it right. But its hard, really hard.

If theres tricks or exercises that can let me overcome these obstacles, I am going to pay for 1 more year here at guitar tricks, if not its pointless. As I want to master the guitar, not just play some easy songs like twinkle twinkle or I wish you were here by pink floyd.. heh.
