    Welcome to TAC @laurie-d-jacksongmail-com

    Just yesterday another new member posted here about having small hands. I will link to that thread below so as not to have to repeat myself.

    So 2 days? Have you been playing all day long for 2 days? If so that is counter productive. The program is minimum 10 minutes daily. You can go a bit longer but after 20 minutes you should definitely take a break. You can only absorb so much while doing something completely new like learning guitar. The movements are completely unnatural and are not replicated in most anything we typically learn to do in our lives.

    I’ve been playing for close to 2 years and started with TAC 18 months ago. I got decent command of the C chord probably about 3 months into my journey

    the G chord about 4 -5 months in

    the B7 was right after that.

    Many of the chords that I thought I had under my fingers at this point I really didn’t because while transitioning into them or making modifications to them I would be muting strings all over the place, especially the D, E and C chords.

    It wasn’t until about 6 months ago (a full year after joining TAC) that I was able to play an F mini (barre chord) with any consistency.

    Don’t be so quickly discouraged, you are only a few days into your journey. It will take a few years to learn guitar, at least for most people not 16 or under!
