Lizzy,

Welcome to GFB & B. I'm sure you'll find many lessons, anecdotes and friends here.

Here's a little tip to help you over the "my fingers' went where?" syndrome.

Your fingers have muscles which need to learn where to go and when to go there. Don't consider this a problem, rather, just a short hazing routine every guitarist goes through to join the Guitar Players Family. And every guitar player graduates hazing! You are not alone.

As your brain learns and understands what chords and notes to play when, you brain has to teach your fingers. It won't take long, I guarantee! It's exactly the same as when you taught your fingers to cover the right hole or press the right key pad at the right time on your wind instrument. It's no big deal and you'll work through it!

Good luck.
