George

you remember when I used to pester you with guitar questions Well I've another one


do you have any cures for my HANDS BEING TOO SMALL TO PLAY



and sometimes I just don't have enough fingers to make a chord! like the chord from HELL, b



damn.....things



ok any advice

 

Use duct tape and popsickle sticks...

 

what you're making fun of me


my fingers just don't stretch that far

 

well whatever because i figured it out :H

 

I use a hand exerciser mabob... sometimes that helps.

 

haha, i know what hand excercises george does.

 

try starting out on an electric. the fret board isn't quite as wide, and the strings are easier to hold down.

oh, and you can make a b-chord on the 7th fret:

------7
------7
----8-7
--9---7
--9---7
------7

 

here's what you do inject your hands with a silicon BOOM you now have bigger hands then do this over a time period and whammoo you have a hand the size of an adult penguin you are now the feared member in your town. Through this fear they finally channel it into anger and then when you are asleep they gag tie you and throw you in a truck and drive you to canada.

 

okay this question was not to me but

i am sure there is enough fingers for chord b.........

i used to have troubles streching my hand into place.....but i guess over time they began to fit into place..........it used to hurt pretty bad too, I nearly gave

 

becky i have little hands too.

I suggest you either hit them repeatedly on a desk(or something) or get pregnant so they swell up.

OR.

Get a smaller guitar.

Fucked if I know. My guitar that I have now is small...



I thought you gave up guitar.

B is also my chord from hell. I still can't get it after like... 8 years of playing. I just bar the bottom four strings on the 4th fret. Same shit. aaaahah

 

how is b the chord from hell

of course you can play B in the 7th fret

try playing D#9b7b5

perhaps you have giant man-hands, but neither becky or i do.

they dont stretch very efficiently.

 

Yeah, you have to judge the nut-width and neck width... how the profile fits your hand. Stretching and such helps, too...

 

Chord C was actually the first chord i ever learnt - it made me hate playing the guitar straight away - - it was so hard standing up and playing it *its weird how i remember this* :H

 

practice does the trick, i had to spend ages trying to get my hands to do the million fret stretches for some of trhe dodgy jazz chords

 

Why does everybody hate practicing? That's the best part of having an instrument!

 

Yeah, you fishmonger.

 

PShhhh.

When I first started playing when I was 8, and I had to do a G7.

Oh my god I thought I was near death.


I couldn't take practising for 1/2 hour back then, but that was when I had to learn all the scales and whatnot, when I didn't pay attention, and wasn't all that interested.

Now I wish I listened.

 

I should start playing guitar, it looks so interesting and it would be a fun way the burn all my free time
