So here i am, 52 year old bum. My son started playing guitar and I decided to learn as well.
I can't get my fingers 4 or even 3 on the frets at the same time. Other than breaking my fingers so they move, what exercise should I do?
don't give up, I've known people who give up too soon. After while the muscle and recognition memory will come together. Remember your trying to get your hands to do something they haven't done before. When I was first starting out many years ago, I would practice moving from one chord to another while leaving my strumming hand completely out of it so I only had to concentrate on one hand. Fret board exercises will help as well. Even after all these years, if a part of a song is challenging for me, that part becomes an exercise.
