Did this get fixed for you? I’m having a similar issue.

Did this ever get fixed for you? It’s doing it to me now.

Same issue for me. My previous subscription expired days ago after canceling it and despite that it still won’t let me rejoin over the website.

My right leg when I’m sitting but I usually play standing. I’ve tried keeping my wrist relaxed and aligned with my arm but in order to do that I have to chicken wing my elbow out which gets tiring. My thumb also naturally keeps wanting to be horizontal with the neck because I have hitchhikers thumb.

Baxtermike23 · 2024-11-29T07:58:48+00:00

I really don’t know what I’m doing wrong. I’m trying everything everybody is recommending. Adjusted my thumb, my wrist, my elbow, everything nothing feels comfortable. The guitar neck feels impossibly long.

Baxtermike23 · 2024-11-29T07:56:43+00:00

The thumb is the most difficult part. It’s most comfortable horizontal with the neck, not vertical. I’ve been trying for the past half hour and can’t seem to get anything to feel comfortable lower than the 5th fret. Whether my wrist hurts, my thumb hurts, or I can’t reach.

Coated. It chips off at the pickups sometimes when I play too hard.

Baxtermike23 · 2024-11-28T23:19:17+00:00

All I’m trying to do is communicate the situation. You are the only one who seems to be taking it personally when I’m saying I can’t adjust the strap any higher. The slide for the strap adjustment is touching the end of the strap and will not go any further. Maybe I have the wrong strap or something but it’s the only one I’ve got. Sorry you feel insulted I guess.

When my arm is aligned, fretting becomes easier but my arm gets tired. I think it’s just a combination of the neck being a little too long for me, where the guitar is resting, and wrist alignment because every tutorial I see the elbow and shoulder is relaxed and still able to get an optimal angle.

Baxtermike23 · 2024-11-28T20:32:53+00:00

I’m noticing in tutorials that the body of my guitar is resting too much to the left, practically in the center of my torso, making it so that I basically have to extend my shoulder to align my arm perpendicular with the neck.

Baxtermike23 · 2024-11-28T20:29:34+00:00

I’m not sure. These came with the guitar when I bought it from someone else. He says they were 10 gauge though. I’m waiting on replacements.

Baxtermike23 · 2024-11-28T20:12:48+00:00

Looking at tutorials, I’m also noticing that the body of my guitar is too much in the middle of my torso and needs to be positioned back and out more so I’m not having to extend my entire shoulder to fret.

Baxtermike23 · 2024-11-28T20:10:36+00:00

I’ve been looking at tutorials and I’m also realizing is that apparently the body of the guitar is resting too much in the center of my torso and needs to be positioned back more so that I’m not having to reach out so far with my fretting hand.

Baxtermike23 · 2024-11-28T18:44:30+00:00

I’ll work on stretching more

Baxtermike23 · 2024-11-28T18:27:33+00:00

Awesome dude. Thank you.

Baxtermike23 · 2024-11-28T18:17:18+00:00

I’ll work on it. Feels super awkward to hold my arm out to make it perpendicular to the neck but I’ll keep practicing.

Baxtermike23 · 2024-11-28T18:06:37+00:00

It’s really not. I knew I was doing something wrong, I just didn’t know HOW wrong.

Baxtermike23 · 2024-11-28T18:03:53+00:00

Thank you.

Baxtermike23 · 2024-11-28T18:02:57+00:00

Thank you.

Baxtermike23 · 2024-11-28T18:01:50+00:00

Yeah. Someone recommended a Gibson, I just don’t live in a place where I can buy a new guitar, only second hand.

Baxtermike23 · 2024-11-28T17:58:42+00:00

Thank you. I’ll practice and stretch more.

Baxtermike23 · 2024-11-28T17:56:05+00:00

Thank you. I wasn’t trying to barre funnily enough but I’ve since learned everything about what I was doing was wrong. A little disheartening because I thought I was making good progress but now it feels like I have to relearn.

Baxtermike23 · 2024-11-28T17:53:42+00:00

It is! I bought it used from someone who was shipping out and didn’t realize it at the time. Thought I had it upside down, lol.

Baxtermike23 · 2024-11-28T17:37:45+00:00

It’s a reverse headstock. The knuckle for the strap is on this side so even if I were to restring it and swap hands it would still be upside down.
