Hi everyone !!
Talk about starting late in life, I'm 45 and just started playing 1 month ago. So far I've taken 5 lessons but having alot of difficulty transitioning from any chord to C and D is a hard one for me, I keep muting E. Help !!! Any suggestions ?
Thanks
Bobby

It will come in time. Make sure your thumb is around the middle of the back of the neck so your fingers are hitting the fretboard at a 90 degree angle. That will help you stay clear of unwanted strings.

Hey Bobby--
Welcome aboard. Also try to arch your fingers more. Concentrate on only the tips of your fingers getting through. Keep asking questions.
