                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[Hi,<br><br>Good to hear it's going well.<br><br>Something that I still do with tricky new chords is to look to see if there's a simple version to start with first.  <br><br>So there's a one finger version of G that uses only the highest 4 strings - DGBG. You can then add another finger for a 5 string version, and then another for all 6 strings. If you're accurate enough not to strum the high E you can even play a no finger version - just the open DGB strings.<br><br>Same with C. One finger version -just the three high strings - GCE. Add fingers across as you go for  2,3 and 4 finger versions. Different voicings of course, but valid major chords.]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[Just to update this - well he has learnt a whole song now, with chord changes - hes a little slow getting the whole chords on but he's changing which is excellent! We have done quite a few more songs with the capo and he is getting more into the guitar! He still doesnt understand the relativity of time - which is that he has acheived things he said at first "I can't do that" and he still says "I  can't do that" and I point out all the things he can do now that he couldn't before. I think the kid is actually very talented and I hope one day he will kill us all in a guitar battle.  :lol:]]></content:encoded>

He discovered on his own (though I told him this a few weeks ago) do play the G with the little and third finger both (third on B, fourth on E) and he could do it! He couldnt when I asked him a few weeks ago and he wasn't even doing this with the capo - however the second song we are going to learn needs a capo at the 9th, I will talk to his Mum next week.]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[I think he would find that equally as hard if not harder lol, cos that's just a stretch in the other direction. I think it's just going to be a case of telling him to practice the stretch a G or C requires, though I will try the capo thing! Thanks for suggestions :) This student is an interesting one though, he is only young but he can strum to a metronome! I mean, he loses it sometimes but then so do a lot of long time players, the fact he can do that as a beginner is brilliant!]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[Playing open chords at the first position can be difficult for beginers because not so much the strech of the fingers but because the arm is extended out so far causing a lot of tension. If you play a little air guitar and hold your arm out (in the first position) for 10-15 sec you can feel it getting heavy, now move up to 12 fret and its a whole lot easier to hold it there.<br><br>Check out Jamie's website, she cover's a lot on this subject<br><br><a href="http://www.guitarprinciples.com/index.php">http://www.guitarprinciples.com/index.php</a>]]></content:encoded>
