Clark Ellison replied to tim's discussion New Playa in the group Acoustic Newb"A lot of people play an A with one finger. You will also find that same technique used in barre chords. SInce this is your first guitar you may want to check the width of the neck at the nut as those of us with "fatties" need a little more…"
tim replied to tim's discussion New Playa in the group Acoustic Newb"thanks people, live in FL so dry humidity is definetly not a problem...will probably get a stand. Is it OK to play an A chord with 1 finger??? My fingers are so big (seems)that I cant fit 3 in 1 fret. Am I beginning bad habits or will I get it, I…"

Hi, just got a Fender acoustic starter pak for Christmas. Question is How do you all store your guitars, I want it where I will see it and pick it up every day, but keep it safe. I think Im gonna hang it on a wall. I play piano and drums I would like to find some lessons for someone who already can read music, keep time, etc. Suggestions?? Thanks
