So just got a guitar for Xmas, always wanted to play. So with my wife deciding to separate, thought it was time to direct my focus to learning guitar at 43. [br][br]

ive started my lessons and I'm working on the spider legs exercise, one finger fret. And I can do my index and middle finger, but my ring finger doesn't feel right or reach the 3rd fret. Also any exercises for when pressing the strings to not hit other strings? I don't have nails ( I chew mine off lol) but I find I hit neighboring strings. [br][br]

thanks in advance guys! [br][br]
