This is the most stuck and frustrated I have been so far.
I am getting it right like 1 out of 20 times, I keep muting the G string with my middle finger and it is sooo difficult to fix for me because my middle finger has somewhat of a belly, the pad is rounded out and idk why and it’s driving me insane .
I even try to get it so far up it touches the A string (but that’s okay since the A string will be fretted on the next fret), but even with that, I mute the G string most of the time, my hands feels exhausting after trying to adjust for so long. Add to that, I have a classical guitar so it should be easier for me since the strings are further apart.
Is there a trick that will help? or should I put my middle finger on some sort of diet.
Is your thumb at the back of the neck, as Justin suggests to begin with, or on top/over the neck? A short video is always helpful to see exactly what you are doing.
oh moving the thumb actually made a remarkable difference ! Thank you so much.
At the beginning, I was teaching myself to keep my thumb a bit down, because if it went up it often mutes the high e string, because the neck is so wide.
But at this stage It is much easier to be more mindful of the e string and curve my palm a bit, it still sometimes gets muted but it feels much better and easier to improve.
I have a question about the C chord. i got into the habit of placing my 3rd finger down first followed by the 2nd and first as opposed to 1 then 2 then 3. It is alot easier like this for me when i try to do it the way justin tought i find it very difficult getting a clear sound is there any cons to this method?
You should try to place all your fingers down at once. When first learning a chord one finger at a time help with placement but the goal is to place all your fingers down at the same time.
So if placing your 3rd finger down first is becomming a habit now is the time to break it and start trying to place all 3 fingers together.
