TAC Family Forums

@Ping one thing you could try is to place your capo on the 2nd, 3rd, or 4th fret when you are practicing your tone on your chord shapes. This will put your fretting fingers farther up the fretboard where the frets are closer together which makes it so much easier to get the muscle memory and technique perfected. Once you are happy at the fret you are working at, start moving the capo down the neck one fret and try everything there.

Using your capo helps lower the action, and helps by letting you work out your fingers without needing as much flexability. It’s a great practice tool, and you don’t have to go buy a smaller guitar 🙂
