I’m 6 foot 220 pounds so I’m not very small and I definitely have large hands. When I first started playing I thought it was impossible for me personally to make any chords at all. Are used to skip every Friday chord challenge. My fingers were just way too big to fit in between the strings. All I can tell people is that things that seem impossible now will become easier in time but of course it will be in increments so small that you won’t even notice along the way until one day you’ll look back and remember how hard it used to be.
Fast forward three years and I have no trouble at all playing chords now. I don’t know what changed but it’s almost as if my fingers arent as impossibly big anymore. Maybe the calluses made my finger is longer and they don’t have to push down as hard anymore.
One of my guitars has a standard 1-3/4” size nut and the other one has a 1-15/16” nut. 1/16 of an inch divided across sixth string sounds completely insignificant but I can completely tell the difference. The one with the wider spacing as far easier to play. For now on any guitar by is going to have the largest size I can find.
