Hello Everyone,

Some of you may know this, some not, but I will share anyway. If you have large fingers like myself, playing guitar may not come easy. This is even more difficult when the nut width is smaller(my guitars vary in width by 3mm). When I would practice chrods on one and then switch, my chords would sound awful. I thought I was regressing but it turns out, my fingers were doing exactly as taught. So here is a word of advice, get a guitar that suits you well and then when you get other ones, stick with same nut width. It will pay in spades.

Thanks again, Jon

Hi gogachachi,

This is good advice. A guitar with a wide enough width to fit your fingers is always good idea, especially if you're having trouble holding chords.

Best,

Billy
