Hello :)


I am just starting to learn and this is now my roadblock too. So far I have found Anders' course to be awesome andI felt very proud of myself yesterday.

Today, I got to the C and D major chords and my fingers do not want to play.

I have an ATXP2 because I have smallish hands (and I call them stumpy boy fingers) and while I can just* make the strings on frets, they sound muted or twangy ay best. I think it's my ring finger thatis the problem and the first knuckles closest to my fingernails which do not curl as much as I would like them to. 😩


I am definitely practising and putting my faith in the advice that practice will make it easier, but it's a challenge for sure!


I am going to a real life lesson next week so I am hoping that will help (or give me some good advice) but I think I will learn mainly through this site - I actually can't believe how good and accessible it makes learning!
