I am a very new beginner and have trouble reaching the frets with my fingers. I seem to have a different problem than most people...I don't have short fingers! When my fingers are straight, I can seperate them, no problem. However, when I bend my fingers to put them on the guitar strings, my two middle fingers close together and I cannot reach the frets. I am already using a small guitar. I haven't given up yet...Is there any exercises other than just "keep trying" that I can do to train my fingers to seperate?
