Small Hand Advice - Lemmy.World

Hello, I am new to guitar (3 weeks) and I am practicing every day (a bit too much some days which could be exacerbating) and I have pretty small hands. I think my middle finger measures about 3 inches. I played a lot over the past few days and my left hand (fretting hand in my case) is sore not in a good way I don’t think. I kind of have to contort my hand if I am up near the head stock fretting 1 and 4. I am not discouraged. It seems like all youtube videos just say don’t give up with small hands, not exactly helpful. I’m plenty motivated and want to keep going but I don’t want to injure myself. So all that to say any advice on being able to fret well by the headstock with small hands? I also think my wrist is not in a healthy position but I can’t reach my fingers far enough apart without doing some hand yoga.

My current collection of Eva CD's - Lemmy.world

Very top is ‘NEON GENESIS EVANGELION III’ It has ‘Good or Don’t Be’ on it which I really wanted. Top left is ‘Best Pieces’ which is not technically an Eva CD but has 'A Cruel Angels Thesis Version ‘96’ on it, which I wanted in high quality. Top right is Evangelion Finally. Bottom left is ‘Birthday of Rei Ayanami’ and has a weird version of the op that is like a rock Version with Rei’s VO singing. Lastly is NGE II which I wanted for Thanatos. S2 Works has NGE II and III in it but the other three have songs it doesn’t, so I haven’t got S2 works.

cross-posted from: https://feddit.de/post/793004 [https://feddit.de/post/793004] > Randomly stumbling across the Rebuild of Evangelion movies on Prime Video rekindled my love for anime after a hiatus of 20 years. This track, which is played at the end of the last movie, in the same way was the trigger for me to seek out more Japanese music.
