Hi,
Call me crazy or not, but I'm currently following two online guitar courses; The free ones at Justin Guitar (JG) and a paid one here on Guitar Tricks (GT). JG I practise for 30 minutes in the morning and GT 30 minutes in the evening. Although I'm open to your ideas on the way I'm approaching guitar practice as mentioned above, I am really looking for some advice on an issue I ran into with fretting the D chord, especially when changing back and forth between A and D.
The quick changing excersize on JG starts out pretty good imho, but along the way the base of my index finger starts to touch the guitar neck and I seem to, unknowingly, increase the pressure during the fast change exercise. Well, unknowingly... I don't really notice it during the practice but when I finish the excersize it becomes more evident.
How bad is it that this happens and how can i prevent it from happening?
I've included a link to a picture to give you an idea. It shows, my hand touching the guitar neck, my finger position/posture for the D chord (my fingers really want to point inwards, is this normal?) and which part of the top of my fingers press down on the guitar strings (marks in my finger tips). Any advice, tips, suggestions are very welcome.
