Hi, I have large hands and therefore fingers. Messing around with my finger placement I can improve the result of this chord but it quickly degrades my wrist pose, requiring tension.

234 didn't just feel like a way around this it feels quite natural to me, especially for transitions between E<->A<->D.

Still new to this. I've done one lesson with a teacher and have second in a few days. I thought weekly lessons were too short but now it feels too long lol.

Hi, I purchased this 2 weeks ago but didn't think to show it. I had my first lesson yesterday. It'll probably be a while before I'm good enough to actually enjoy it but I'm committed to getting to that level.

I got a good deal on the guitar, 25% off, gig bag and luthier setup included. The teacher described the luthiers setup as unorthodox but he really liked what he did with it, so evidently should be a reasonably unique sound even for a strat.

I've been practicing every day since I got it. Actually I have no goal here other than "play guitar". But I think if I keep going I'll eventually find something beyond that. I don't time my practices but probably at least an hour a day.

I've had good advice from the community here and am enjoying seeing everyone's progress too.
