Howdy, All my life I've wanted to play guitar. Finallly joined up here on GT and bought a Taylor Mini that Neal Walter on here recomended as a good beginner guitar for short fingers etc.

I have short fingers and they're apparently a bit fat or large on the tips because I have great difficulty trying to press individual strings without touching the open strings AND difficulty stretching my fingers to form notes/cords.

Have any of you had this problem? If so and you found a way to overcome that problem please give details about your solution and methods etc. Surely there must be a way for folks like me to play guitar.

Discouraged beginner, Andre
