What is the width of the neck of your guitar? That might be your problem, I’ll agree with @Alfred on his recommendation of a classical guitar. All my guitars have different widths at the nut. Largest width is my classical. I picked up a 1/2 size classical pretty cheap. You could always pick up a used guitar at a cheaper price if width of the neck is an issue. But….. like @Loraine said check out google first.

The F barre chord is a toughie. I’ll finally get it pressed down, I can hear all the strings then I have to change to another chord! When I change back to the F barre, I pretty much have to stop mid song and place my fingers one at a time to fret. The video was super cute. Thanks for the post.

Great job! I have gotten so many ideas listening to the “play for us” forum. This is one that I will definitely learn to finger pick. Again great job.

A few months back I got a great deal on a 1/2 size classical guitar with nylon strings that I just couldn’t pass up. I never realized what a difference it would make on my practice time. I still have my steel string guitars, but when I know I’m going to be playing endless hours? I grab my classical. Oh gosh yeah, do the stretching exercises. I know Tony has a course on various exercises. Good luck.

I have had this happen myself. Never on my computer, but on my IPad. Clearing the cache might help, it’s worth a try. I don’t know how to contact support. The Support page to me just looks like a bunch of lists for you to scroll through. @Loraine , can we directly contact someone at “support”?

I would recommend the daily challenges. Set down 10 minutes and do as much as you can and then mark it complete. Save the tab to your computer. Maybe if it’s something that was easy? You could practice it again to gain some speed. Or something that was hard, you could practice till you are able to complete it in under 10 minutes. Good luck

Great small win. It’s fun to make a connection with the nephews and practice making some tunes at the same time.

Hey @wilchappell , you could capo down 3 or 4 frets that would give you an idea of a wider neck would do for you.

[Cadgirl]

add 9? what does that mean?

[Cadgirl]

@Loraine , I hold that dang chord down so hard i think i’m going to snap the neck off my guitar. ha ha ha

[Cadgirl]

@Moonhare and @Mark ,I actually feel I’m getting somewhere now. I have a song I’m to learn for my 90 day goal. I think that will be sometime early July. I can play it, slowing down in a lot of spots , but maybe, just maybe I’ll be able to post a song.,

[Cadgirl]

It’s tough just doing the daily challenges sometimes. You’ll get there.

[Cadgirl]

No, @Charles B ,my son doesn’t play. I asked him if he wanted to learn and he told me his dad tried to show him numerous times and he just isn’t getting it. He’s a lefty which doesn’t help. I might take my classical and restring it for a lefty and see if that helps? Of course…. I would be without my practice guitar then.

thanks

THANKS @Fly , I never could figure out how the heck to get to support. @Jonesy , I went ahead and screen captured the support help. It works just like fly said it would.
