Relax
Okay. I am a new player and I want to say to all other new players out there- relax. Don't be so hard on yourself. Pat yourself on the back when you do something good. We will see ourselves make progress- slowly. Probably too slowly for us, but we will get there. I know the poor fingers hurt. Mine do too, so we all have lots of company. Do our finger stretching excersises whenever we are not playing the guitar. I got my guitar yesterday and noticed that the harder I tried to play the hard chords, the more tense I was getting and then I was pressing down on the strings too hard and of course, that doesn't work. The more casual I got with forming the chords, the easier it got.
Finally, thank you, Kirk for your website and all your help. Love your lessons. I wanna learn to fingerpick-it looks so cool.
Good luck everyone. Practice practice practice.
