Guitar chord forum - chordie → Electric → jumbo or medium?????
i know that jumbo frets make playing easier and also faster but i read somewhere that they are designed for experienced players and not for someone like me. [who has started learning guitar last year!!!] and they can make me leave playing forever!?!?!
and also how can i slide easily while the crowns on the fretboard are wider and higher?
thanx.
As a beginner you'll probably fat a wider neck and string spacing an advantage. Wide spacing will allow you to make chord shape with too much bunching and wide string spacing at the scratchplate end will make picking in and out easier. This sort of depends on hand and finger size though. Neck profile is also worth checking, some have quite big C or 'boat' shaped profiles but it does come down to preference.
As for jumbo frets here's an explanation;

so you thing they're good for me. yeah?
even for someone with small hands and short fingers?[i'm 15 but i don't really know why my hands aren't big enough?]
and another thing that i wanted to talk about is that when i use my pick i often strum another string instead of the string that i want to strum and i've got problems with it.[maybe it's its problem or maybe i hold it wrong] but with my fingers[nails], i do it very well and there's no problem with it except the bad noise that it makes when i strum my steel strings. what can i do to solve this problem? if the sound is like THIS in acoustic so how irritating can it be in electric?!?!?!
maybe i have to play with pick....is it the only way to solve this problem?
mhdmhd, I think the only way to get good at strumming with picks is practice. Also practice your flatpicking (picking individual strings with a pick). As with a lot of guitar techniques, the only solution is practice and more practice.
