I will be reading some of the forums to keep marching on.

Keep the dedication and practice going.

Everyon e starting on the guitar feels their fingers are too big/long/fat/short/mis-shapen/uncoordinated and so on.....

Which is to say; wecome to the awesome world of guitar playing!!!!!!!!

Yep, like anything new, it'll take some time for your hands to do what your mind wants them too. Everyone had that at some time. We all still do. When I learn something, sure it might be easier than when I started playing so long ago but; I still get moments where my fingers just don't want to do what I ask. If you look at some of my recent posts, I document that a bit.

Part of the game but why guitar playing is awesome. No matter how long you play, there's always a new adventure.
