Hi Kirk,

Thanks for your response. True that its more of playing than practicing. In fact I was trying my hand at progressing between the C and F chord for about 4 hrs yesterday... and the time just whisked past.

I am gonna keep playing until I master this...

And allthumbs, you are right... My index finger is on the 1st string, ist fret and the 3rd finger is on the 6th string, 3rd strum... and since I am finding it difficult to stretch my fingers at this point, the strain is on my wrist when I am playing it.
