Hello everyone,

Let me start off by saying i absolute love this website and work you guys put into it, the content, lessons and general feel is great, thanks for your hard work.

A little background info about myself:

I have always wanted to learn guitar but was forced by parents to play piano instead, i liked it but always thought about guitar and that has been my dream since i was 8 or so, wish i had done this 20 years ago but here we are, i finally made the big move and stopped finding excuses to follow this secret passion of mine, i want to learn to play on electric guitar, so i bought everything i need and started 3 weeks ago.

Now i unfortunately have few challenges to overcome and disadvantages, i am half blind, have short crooked fingers and had double fracture on my left wrist few years ago, but i am doing excercise 20 minutes twice a day to extend the range of my wrist and fingers and lets see if it gets better within a year so far i practice 2 hours a day, for past 3 weeks, bloody fingers, frustration, despair, but also happiness and joy when things go right to sum it up and i dont plan on quitting as long as i am capable to learn and play.

Now if you managed to read to this point i thank you and am glad to be part of this community, and i have 1 question to ask:

The first song i am learning, apart from techniques, practice, music theory etc. is Blitzkrieg bob by Ramones, due to the reasons above i am having a hard time reaching 3 frets with 3 fingers, as everyone else is playing, after 20 minutes i have wrist pain and i cant continue, so i switched it and i use index for 3rd fret and pinky for 5th fret for example, 4 fingers for 3 frets, instead of 4 frets, it is MUCH MUCH better and i improved and nothing hurts.

The question therefore is, do you think I should play like everyone else and practice so i can reach 4 frets with 4 fingers and go through the pain and frustration so i dont limit myself or should I play alternatively by what is comfortable for me and in the long run in the future i would run into massive issues when i would have to play 4 notes using 4 fingers on 4 frets?

What do you think?

Thank you! Have a nice day!
