Hello All

I signed on with GT just a few days ago and have been going through the beginner lessons. I'm having the same issue as most of my age group (or anyone). My left hand that I fret with is having a hard time getting used to proper finger position. My thumb wants to move toward the head stock instead of staying opposable behind the second fret and I keep pulling it back to the second fret to adjust. Also for the simple C chord I find my index finger causes buzz on the high E string when pressing the B string in the first fret or is close enough to the G string where I can feel it vibrating. So basically I'm having a "dial it in" issue. I have 3 guitars (all electric) and don't want to add another one until I can be proficient with the ones I have. I guess my short term goal is to stay on the begginer lessons until my "dial it in" issue is resolved. Does this make sense, or does anyone have a better idea? Thx.
