    Getting pressure just on the fingertips is hard. Here are some ideas…

    – Slid your palm away from the fretboard and your body, this will allow more of a crook in your fingers

    – Raise the neck of the guitar above horizontal, this reduces the rotation of the wrist

    – Do the chord shape, pick each string individually, if strings are muted, do micro-adjustments until there are no muted strings. Then gently remove pressure and the press again. Repeat 10 times. This will help your brain understand what it should feel like. Now remove your hand and repeat. Do this for 2-3 mins a day and repeat everyday until you can do it without muted strings (typically takes 20+ days for me). This repeated focused practice is what tells your brain to move it into the subconscious.
