2. It's very common to have your fingers angled when you're first learning how to play, that it gets in the way of the other strings, and then mutes them. Playing guitar isn't going to feel natural at first, and it shouldn't because guitars aren't natural things!
It is important to keep your fingers straight when learning, so that you don't mute the other strings on accident. Relax your shoulder, sit up-right, and remember not to be tensed up. Also, don't forget to stretch your fingers, your wrist, your entire arm, if you have to, before you start practicing.
Practice slowly, and keep up the repetitions until you feel better about what you're learning, and you'll get there.

A bit confusing, on thelesson Learn the Song 'I Believed You' by Lisa, her fingers are pretty angled on this one and not perpendicular to the neck. Your thoughts ?
