Hands too small for the fretboard of my guitar?
I can barely reach and execute certain chords. What can I do?
[I have a 38" acoustic currently]
im not sure if there is such a thing as having hands that are too small for their guitars fingerboard
but if so, maybe its just that you not acustom to playing with acoustic b/c acoustic guitars have slightly thicker and shorter fingerboards.
so i suggest that you practice using grips to stretch you finger, hand and wrist muscles so that you don’t have to put so much strain on you hands.
i think it just takes practice, when i was starting out, ithought that i coudnt do it b/c i felt the same way.
just practice.
itll take a while, but if you really practice, it will help
=]
plus when i started out, i seriously didnt think i could reach chords that had my fingers on frets 3 spaces apart!
but now i can.
all it is is time, practice and a little exercise[i know, i ronic]
lmao
hope this helps.
