    Stretch your finger joints by opening you 1st and 2nd finger (like the victory sign) and press them against at the back of your fretboard...
    Do this often enough and you'll find that you get better range as time goes on... Repeat with the 2nd and 3rd, and 3rd and 4th fingers...

    Until then you can always use the first 4 strings instead of doing the full barre chord...
    Example... B barred is 2 2 4 4 4 2 but you could always do 4 4 4 2 and just strum the 4 bottom strings...

    Keep on 'keepin on!

    Default There must be more musicians.

    Hey where is everyone,are there only a handful of us that play music?
    Don't be shy even if you play for fun.

    I went out and got an inexpensive Jay Turser Electric guitar kit to learn with. I haven't taken any lessons but have found a wealth of information online and have done ok with it. I have yet to play an entire song but am getting the basics down.

    I look forward to participation in this forum to help me learn and get better. With the level of knowlege we have in this forum I think i can start planning my tour anytime

    Thanks for putting this together and thanks to the members for your participation!

    keep it up man I broke my hand 2 yrs ago really bad and am finding I almost need to re learn. if you love it keep up the fight it only gets better good luck

    also try this site they give lots of free learnin and it is cheap if you decide to pay and great instruction

    How did I let this slide by me. They's 2 type music, music I like and music I don't like, lol. Been playing for over 30 years and still play every weekend and the name of the band is The Evil Counrty Band and for the people who don't like evil we go by 2 old men and a fatboy,lol, have been nickname Tom and fatboy, TOM is short for To Old Men. I play bass and in my early years was a self proclaimed jammin slut because when I started I would go play anywhere for any one, which has put me in some strange situtation. But it's all good,lol

    well thats a little on bigge
