Topic: New beginners web sites... (6 replies, posted in Acoustic)
Ok. Had to take some time off from practicing because I was a tad ill. But I now found out that one site I was using is down temporarily. Is there one that would be recommended for a beginner?

Thanks.

Topic: Ring finger and pinkie. (3 replies, posted in Acoustic)
I'm having trouble getting those fingers down to play whatever note I need without them occasionally hitting other strings I'm not supposed to. I know I'm supposed to use the fingertips. Are there any exercises that could force those fingers to be close to the guitar, right now they are lifted if I am trying to play the notes for the first two fingers, and also to make sure I only use my fingertips so the rest of the finger doesn't come down to touch the other strings?

Welcome Aeroparrot. Some good resources on Chordie are checking out beginner songbooks in the songbooks tab, asking questions (none are too basic or simple), off Chordie a couple beginner resources are the beginner programs at www.justinguitar.com, a zillion beginner videos on Youtube (be careful though, if something there doesn't make sense to you it probably doesn't make sense to anyone, not all Youtube instructors are created equal), and if you're interested in flatpicking I just found that Folk of the Wood has some beginner pick control lessons at http://www.folkofthewood.com/Acoustic_G … sons.html.
Take your time, enjoy yourself, and participate in the forums.

Thanks. I found a video of one on YouTube that made sense with the guy saying to stretch out the fingers by doing 1-2-3-4 on all 6 strings one at a time going down and 4-3-2-1 going back up. I'm trying to master that first....

Welcome! Do you play a righty guitar flipped like Hendrix or do you play a standard tuned, standard strung lefty?
Bought an actual lefty guitar not the "Hendrix version".
Thanks all. I will check it out.

Just started trying to learn. I've tried looking for something to help me learn how to play lefty. I play left handed.
