(spell checked version.)

It's all in the "arc" of the way the finger comes down and frets the note, along with the position of the palm as it relates to the neck. You strive to fret the string as close to the bottom of the fret as possible, not in the middle or near the top of the fret. You strive to attain callouses that are only on the very tips of your fingers, not the entire fingertip. Keep the nails of the fretting hand trimmed just above the quick, so that nail growth doesn't impede the ability of that tip of calloused skin to make full contact against the strings. If your callouses aren't developed enough, switch to medium gage strings for a few weeks, and the, go back to lights.

I say again, DEPENDING ON THE STYLE OF MUSIC YOU WANT TO PLAY, should determine the neck width (and the string spacing) of the guitar. Certain things will be easier to finger with a narrow neck, and certain things will be easier with a wide neck.

If all you want to do is strum the chords to "Coom-by-yah" it doesn't really matter one whit what you use,
as long as it gives you pleasure. :-)
