@Yerizzo I agree,most guitarists i see in howto's have their nails far back. i cliped my nails yet its still hard. aside from that if i place one finger on a string all the sound is cut off. i dunno if im doing this right or not but i can't fret any cords and its kinda frustrating.

Oh my God, this is so hard.

@guitarrift96 It's not that. Even if I clip my nails all the way back, my nails are still further than the tip of my fingers, not like the fingers with this guy in the video, where his nails are far back from the tip of his fingers.
