theres several things you could do to overcome this. you could solve this problem and future problems by simply buying a guitar with a smaller neck radius (i.e. a fender squire "Bullet" mini) or for an acoustic just try something that's not a classical style guitar because classicals are notorious for their large neck radius. or to not spend more money you could try using power chords. they sound almost the same to an untrained ear but technically speaking they are lacking a note or two.a tip for power chords from me personally would be don't be afraid to use your pinky because when you get into barre chords later you can switch effortlesly between power chords and barre chords. hope it helps - Kyse

How do you play the A chord on guitar?

Ab is an A flat note which you know so think of an A chord but you don't fret the high E string and than just play an A chord giving it a lower sound. in theory theres lots of other Ab's on the guitar too on a single string .. ect , you'll find out about the more you play.


Playing a guitar B chord?

Try making the "A" chord using your middle, ring and little fingers (a/k/a- i, m, a or 2nd, 3rd and 4th fingers) at the second fret on the 4th, 3rd and 2nd strings, respectfully. If you can do that, then make the same pattern at the 4th fret. Now to complete the simple "B" chord, use your first finger on the first string, 2nd fret. Strum only the 4 strings. When you are ready for barre chords, use your first finger to barre the 5th and 1st strings at the 2nd fret with the all 4 fingers in position. You know you are really good when you can play all 5 strings of this chord clearly! If you wanna rock-n-roll "B" power chord, use your first finger on the 5th string, 2nd fret, and your 3rd finger on the 4th string 4th fret. For a more full sound, try adding 3th and 2nd strings under the 3rd finger.

There are multiple ways to play every chord on guitar. Additionally, using a capo changes which fret you play the chord in as well. If you are not using a capo, and just want one way to play the Bm chord, here is a link to a diagram: http://guitar.about.com/library/weekly/aa112100d.htm Notice you bar the second fret by putting you're index finger on the five thinnest strings.
