Hi folks,

it takes a while for the fretting hand to adjust to all those new positions, patience and practice will be your friends… also, check your positions, on the chair, the position of your guitar on your leg, which leg do you use to rest it on, do you have it sitting square or at an angle with the neck pointing slightly forward (which helps a lot). Also, depending on the size of the guitar you use, i could affect your hand position a great deal. Try to sit it on your left leg to see if it’s any better (if you a right handed person), and use the classical position, it could work wonder 😉

curling the fingers and using the very tip of your fingers definitely helps, and very, very short nails

PS, don’t forget to warm up before sessions with finger stretching exercises 😉

Hope that helps
