[kendallbob]

[chrisevilmonkey]

[Schnuggiputzii]

it hurts just like playing with the violin T.T

[knightj75]

when will this not hurt anymore

[mitiris2000]

I know :) took me like a month or so to get the perfect sound for this chord. Now the tip of my finger is all hardened with calluses, you will get them too very soon, my friend :))

[mitiris2000]

Remember to keep the joints of your finger bent when you press the string. And most importantly, PRESS HARD. You can't just press half way man, go all the way! It's gonna hurt at first but that's why you need to be patient.

Besides not pressing hard enough, I think your index finger might touch the bottom string as well, making it out of tune. Be careful and leave the bottom string open while playing this chord.

[mitiris2000]

well, your index finger doesn't have to be in the exact center as long as it does not touch the edge between frets. As for this chord, I would worry more about the index finger touching the bottom string (high E string).

Press wherever that's within the fret and try to leave the bottom string open and you'll do fine. Practice!!

[StardreamerPF]

I'm not a guitar expert but I think it doesn't matter, so just go with what's comfortable for you. In fact I think it shouldn't be in the center anyways.
