Due to the method I am using to learn the chords, I have decided to abandon the idea of learning House of the Rising Sun first. A face to face instructor can do that, and maybe shave a lot of time off the learning process. is great, but Justin can't look at what I'm doing and say, "hey, *******, you need hold the guitar differently and your problems will go away". That way someone who knows what they are doing can nit-pick these little things for me. Amazing what posture and proper mechanics can do to take tension out of your fingers while trying to hold the chords.ĮDIT: I'm also considering taking a short lesson once a week where my boy goes. The D chord seemed impossible to me on Wednesday when I was first introduced to it. I decided that I am angling the guitar so as to be able to see the frets and strings, causing my wrist to have to bend further than it has to, so I pulled that sucker right in to my body and held it with the fret board at a 90 degree angle to the floor, etc. So, I decided the guitar is too low, so I put a small box under my right foot. But I decided to something else.analyze everything I was doing that did not involve my fret hand to see if I am contributing to my own problem with weird mechanics. I took everyone's advice and decided to play the chords the way they are supposed to be played when I practiced last night.
