Guitars which have bad action will prevent playing well and cause very sore finger tips on the chording hand.

Solution. Get a Guitar that does not hurt like a Fender or Alvarez etc OR If you really wanna have it easy get a gut strung Guitar till you get used to chording.

Here again is my G chording system for the lazy player who likes to learn fast. BTW These 'shapes' been around since the 60's. I did not invent em.

Just read a posting by about reaching with the chording hand. Seems to me when buying a Guitar we ought to check out the 'reach'. There are 'small' Guitars with shorter fret board - so stretching the left hand for chording is not a problem for most people.

Hope that helps :)
