Guitar players with short fingers and barre chords?!
Question: Guitar players with short fingers and barre chords!?
I have short fingers and have a hard time with barre chords!. I know about rolling my finger a little to use the side rather than the pad of my finger, and pressing my thumb hard against the back of the neck!. Are there any excercises that can help me improve in this area!?Www@Enter-QA@Com

Use just your thumb to asist in flipping the coin down the top of your fingers, then back along the bottoms!.start with a silver dollar and work down to quarter!.

I have short, stubby little fingers, and I play guitar too!
Have you tried moving your thumb down (vertically) the neck more!? A lot of people play with it near the top of the guitar, towards the top of the top string, but if you move it downwards (as in towards the ground), you can afford a LOT more flexibility!. :)Www@Enter-QA@Com
