Hello All

Well many many years ago I bought an acoustic and well sadly I couldn’t for many reasons ( mainly young kids) get to grips

so after a fair bit of research I joined this site and along with my start up Yamaha F310 I am back in the fold

My Gosh ! I can’t believe how hard it is getting my old fingers to play without hitting the other strings the one I am really struggling with is 6th E 3rd fret I just cannot seem to hit this I end up in all sorts of contortions and hunched up

Please please reassure me this is temporary

is their something I am missing ? Or is this one of the harder frets to hold I don’t seem to have a problem with the other strings. It’s just a stretch to be on top of the string. I seem to be reaching to plant my finger tip so that it doesn’t catch I know the F310 has a smaller neck but hey my little pinkies and my wrist still ache

So come on give an old man some love here . It will get better won’t it ? And if you have any excercises great
