Hi everyone, 


wondering if anyone can help.  I've noticed that the callous on my left hand (fret hand) index finger is to the left of centre, when looking at finger face on. When I play notes the finger really rolls to that side.  I've been working on the chromatisation exercises and feel that my ability to stretch distance between my fretting index and middle finger is limited.  Is there a way to rectify this?  I also notice when working on the spider exercises on the first 4 frests my index finger slides all around the fret space and doesnt sit still.


I also notice my fingers are not straight on like the teachers, working on Acoustic Level 1, 8, Practice Tune Performance  - instructor, Anders.  When he plays the Em7 chord all his fingers are straght, mine all lean like tress in a bad wind (toward the nut) how can I rectify this?
