Question, fat fingers here also, cant even get to the first cord taught! tried bending all that, by arms dont work that direction, but I bought an electric, wanting a hobby, and wanting to learn. I want to learn for me. and maybe make a few people happy sometimes. Alternate fingering is a long way in the vids, I have very strong arms, always had a job lifting things. I like it keeps me healthy, but almost getting ready to say hey I cant do this, problem is I already set goals. so any adivice for big guys fat fingers, besides buying another, I an open to advice. my wrists hurt now, big baby.....learning has its cost.
