So, the first step is to try and master the "first position" chords.
Then you read up on the fretboard roadmap and you try the chord patterns down the fretboard and its a whole new show.
THat Concert doesn't seem to cut it anymore.
You either get a soprano to limit your needs and keep you in first position lala land - which likely at my stage may be more fun.
or... you must play tenors and possibly a baritone to play those chord structures more easier on the lower frets.
I think it will come down to the voicing I want; but, it sure burst my happy bubble after feeling good about the first position chords then struggling to master the DGB roadmap chord shapes as the frets get "smaller" and "wider"
Short fingers do not rule. Please tell me my fingers will adjust but I'm afraid my fingers are going to limit what I can do.
If women can get larger breasts, why can't I get longer fingers?
