Never use? Never is a long time. How many times do you use the letters X or Q in words yet if you didn’t know what those letters were you couldn’t read the hundreds of words that contain them. Take it slowly and, over time, your hands will adjust to all sorts of strange shapes. Yes, there are alternative ways to play MANY chords. Too many other ways for Tony to teach them all. If you’re interested in that type of thing then simply supplement your learning from TAC with any of the many free sites or, even better (maybe?) there’s plenty of you tube videos as well (ex.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aXsWJkW4ZWQ). Learning the guitar, like learning any new skill, takes practice and patience as well as an open mind. Relax and “lean into” the process. Before you know it you’ll be making shapes you never thought possible and laughing at how you were flustered by the B chords. Take it from someone who was once there. Good luck!
