I am just learning chords and am having problems with dead strings. The course says don't worry about it but I don't see how it'll correct itself on it's own later. It makes me not want to learn.


Any suggestions.?

My fingers were too large for the beginner guitar I bought, and I could not fret properly no matter how hard I tried. I ended up buying a wide necked guitar, and it all went away.
