Need to learn how to play guitar, but…?
OK, I’m learning to play guitar……I’ve got FAT fingers, and they stop the free strings from vibrating because they touch the strings. HELP. How do I keep this from happening. I’m a brass player, and happen to be a band director, but have never played guitar. I’d love to take this summer and learn, but can’t get past my fat fingers. Any suggestions?
The first guy is absolutely correct. More often than not, classical guitars have wider necks. Strings for these kinds of guitars are made out of nylon and only the low E is wrapped in metal – they are generally the same price as “regular” guitar strings. Like anything, it varies with the brand. On a side note, nylon strings are sometimes referred to as “cat gut” strings.
Be forewarned, however, that the classical guitar produces a slightly different sound than a typical acoustic guitar today. Some songs just won’t sound right – but I guess that gives you a creative edge.
