Do you ever look at the fret positions for some guitar chords and wonder just how the hell some guitarists manage to get their fingers in that position?

• I have little girl hands too. :( I'm not proud of it. What exactly do you mean by 'bar'? Do you mean hold down? Chords like the F chord and B chord (at leasts some of the online versions) are near impossible. Maybe hand-size is the problem.

• Yeah, that's what I meant by bar. I don't know how some people do it. Though, you can actually buy guitars that are made for smaller hands. It's not anything I ever see myself buying, because I'm too cheap and not good enough a player to go buy a whole new guitar. Maybe I can subject myself to more hand torturing practice to learn. I'm sure that will eventually have some effect... hahah.

• Sorry, I know what bar chords are now. That sentence didn't come out too well. I know the feeling, I think I'm getting better.

• Well, that's good. I don't see any hope in it for me, heheh... It's just something I'm trying to pick up on my own, which is hard for me for some reason. I used to be able to actually have some fluid movement when my dad taught me to play... before I dropped playing and forgot how to do everything. It's sad that at 5 or 6, I could play better than I can now... lol

• Eh, kids learn so much faster than older people. It's nothing really to be ashamed of, if anything you should have more physical capabilities to play the guitar now than you did then, you just need to push yourself a little.

• Easier said than done, hahah. For some reason, I think each time I pick up the guitar, something magical is going to be able to happen, like my fingers are going to move themselves. It doesn't help that I am a horrible procrastinator. I put off everything! =O

• Heh heh, I know what you mean. In fact, for me, playing the guitar is a form of procrastination.

• Really? I actually put off doing things to do it, and I put off things in learning how to do it correctly, so it makes absolutely no sense, especially since procrastination only breeds more and more procrastination until I just end up not doing things. In fact, I am even putting off things right this very moment...

• Well, Answerbag is the ultimate procrastination tool... what exactly are you putting off? Clothes?

• Hahah, no. That sounds weird, "I'm putting off my clothes." Sounds like that would refer to taking an indefinite hiatus from wearing clothes... Actually, I am putting off a bunch of argumentative analyses for English class. I've only done about 3 or 4, I need to turn in 12. I told myself that I would get the first six done Wednesday and yesterday, then 2 every night Friday-Sunday... but of course I didn't even get the first half done... so now I am at where I should do 5 to keep myself from working my ass off the rest of the weekend and get back on track. I wish I didn't have to type it, or else I'd actually get it done... hahah.

• You find it easier writing things out than typing?

• No, not really. But when the internet is a factor that I must include in research for typing, there is no way in hell I'll get anything done.

• Very true, I can definately relate to that. I have to write some crappy 750 words thing for uni, and I know it's going to be hard to do with the Bag in the way.
