    Hi @Noncenx and welcome to the TAC community!

    The chords can be difficult in the beginning. What I always tell others is make sure you are arching your fingers enough and playing on the tips of your fingers. To get more arch, move your palm down towards the floor. It creates a natural arch in the fretting fingers. Also, pay attention to where your thumb is placed on the back of the neck. Keep it aligned with the chords you’re playing. Also, only worry about the strings you should be playing. For instance, the low E isn’t played at all on the C chord, so it’s okay to let your ring finger overlap the A-String and deaden the low E. This creates more room for the D string being fretted.

    It just takes a lot of practice. Don’t get hung up on the lesson. Move forward, while incorporating practice of the chords daily.
