This weekend I attempted to begin learning the guitar, so far I've just been concentrating on exercises to improve my flexibility. However yesterday I tried working on playing my first chord (G) and it seems physically impossible. My fingers don't seem to stretch the way that they should and I end up pressing down on more than one string (the wrong strings that is). I've been practicing holding the guitar in the right way, with my wrist pointed to the floor and my fingers kind of curved downwards toward the strings. I don't know if my hands are too fat or what but I just can't seem to get the hang of playing chords.
Any suggestions for a newbie?
