Well, Bonnie, if you are trying something new, there are two possibilities - either have your finger grow a little (Should I...? No, I won't!) or practise. The latter works.

But maybe I still have a tip. Are you watching your elbow? I noticed some people having difficulties with certain things on the guitar because they simply didn't put their elbow from the place it was to some more appropriate place.

It's true, sometimes it takes the whole body. Move...
