The Wall

Hitting the wall, and not the Pink Floyd kind. The slash chord kind. When I realized that the C/G chord required the pinky to fret the lower A string, I hopped up to the next level of pain. I have an abnormally short pinky. Runs in the family. I will adapt.

Ha, I mean, next they'll be telling me to do something ridiculous, like wrap my thumb around to fret the sixth string. Ha ha. Ha.. what? You mean...? NO.

  1. You don't have to do anything you don't want to do. There is no one way to finger any chord. If you can get the string to stop vibrating at the right point you're fine.

  2. Well, you should have seen what I used to come up with on piano. I don't have any fingering instincts. I'll look up alternatives.
