Hi all;
I just joined yesterday,I am 42 yo and yes just getting my first guitar.I got the Peavey starter pac. at the advice of a friend.But only started trying to learn it by the DVD that came with it and I gotta say I don't know how the heck people play these things?Believe it or not I just can not get the hand/finger position on the neck right.I'm constantly touching too many strings with 1 finger or the palm of my hand barely touches the smallest string when I bring it around.T try and make my hand the position the instructor shows but to no avail.I gotta tell ya it's getting very discouraging.Is there a thing as someone having the wrong size hands or fingers to play a guitar?It must take me about 15 min to try and play a chord,the got to another one? Wow talk about attempting the impossible....lol
Has anyone else experienced trouble with this? I hope so because I would really like to be able to play someday.
Thanks for any advice
Ed
