Hi everyone, I have been playing guitar now for about 6 weeks and I'm loving every minute of it. I'm wondering if anyone has any tips for how to play safely and comfortably, especially with my left hand/wrist. I have a very small frame and and struggling to reach the 6th string sometimes without hurting my wrist and it has started to hurt recently, especially at the base of my thumb. My shoulder and elbow ache after a while too. I know that's probably to be expected but I don't want to pick up bad habits or create any problems for myself going forward.
