Hi,

I m new to guitar, only a few hours, starting with Lisa classes, starting to play the simple chords together etc...

One question I can t solve, when I see Lisa' s fingers, they are all very paralel to each others when she does the spider leg. I physically can t have my middle finger paralel to my ring finger if I try to play one string at a time with those 2 fingers. My ring finger totally goes off

Second question, do you systematically need to have your fingers perpendicular to the neck ? I always hit the strings with an angle with my fingers no matter where I put my thumbs (or my wrist end up in a uncomfortable angle, doesnt feel natural at all)

I dont know if I should keep progressing in the lessons and taking bad habits when things get more complicated or should I focus 1st on managing to hit those strings like Lisa ?

Thanks for your help
