Hello! My name is Becky and I am new to this site!! Help is needed!! I have had a guitar for over 2 years now and up until a month ago I could only play Jingle Bells!!! However, my husband bought me another acoustic guitar for our wedding anniversary and I decided to make it my aim in life to learn to play. Whilst I have got single note playing down to a T (at least on the first 4 strings) I am finding it increasingly difficult to play chords!! I don't know whether my fingers are not long enough but I cannot do it!!! My fingers end up touching the open strings and making a terrible din!!! I can play the really easy chords but end up with sore fingers and a sore head with frustration!!!
Should I just take up knitting instead?!!! How long realistically should I practice each day and how long will it take before I am able to be proficient?!!!
Thank you and sorry to rabbit on and on!
