Hi, from Rushden, England
 I have been trying to play guitar for 30 years now, but never got passed 2 chords. I have just had my guitar converted from 6 string to 4, and tuned GDAE same as a mandolin. The reason for this is, i have very large hands and thick finger tips, and found it just about impossible to cover only one string at a time. Now my guitar has the same width neck with plenty of space between strings, and i can actually play the thing with a lot less frustration. hopefully this site will help me improve my playing.
Good luck to everybody on this site
Jim

Hi Jim. That's certainly unconventional but I hope it works out for you.
