Yup, kind of what I figured, play with the finger angles, maybe harden up the callouses, etc. Guess I was just fishing for some encouragement from guys who may have larger hands/fingers than I do, playing thin necked guitars!
Hey on a slightly different subject. Again from my classical experience and also my bass playing too, I can't stand to play a guitar that's "hangin' low" like a lot of rock guys...you know where your left wrist has to be bent back pretty good, and also leads you to angle your hand relative to the neck/frets. Last Sunday at church my preacher handed me his Martin to jam on, but he had the strap so low I literally had to sit down to play it.
Anyway, what's the consensus on that? Many serious steel-stringers really play that low? Thanks.
