Please helpWww@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
I had that problem when I started too!. I started off by learning half chord shapes so I could hold them down easier!. also, if you have certain chords that you are more comfortable with than others (Eg E, A and D) sites like this one:

allow you to transpose your songs into a key with chords that are better for you (you may have to capo them up and down to change the pitch again if you want to sing along)

Two other things:
* Remember that electric guitars are easier to make chord shapes with because the neck is narrower
* You should be starting off with nylon (as opposed to steel) strings because they are easier on your fingers!.

your fingers will learn to stretch over time!. I don't have the worlds biggest hands either but that doesn't mean you won't be able to adjust!. Its just hard at first but keep it up and you'll get the hang of it!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
