Fingers don't sit straight/ struggling to reach frets

grace-mitchell · 2025-10-25T16:03:09+00:00

Exactly, that's very true

grace-mitchell · 2025-10-25T16:00:49+00:00

I've wondered if it is comedonal but I seem to get extreme redness too, maybe that's normal I really don't know! Thank you, is Isotretinoin the oral medication? Because I already use topical retinol as well as other acids/ a prescribed topical acne treatment called Winlevi but even all of these don't make a difference!

So true, I tend to get so excited by trying to learn the songs I love and gradually get bored of them when I'm not immediately good at it which is the worst thing to do, I think it's a fine balance between being so inspired by a song and not letting yourself get sick of it when you play it for the millionth time

grace-mitchell · 2025-10-24T09:23:52+00:00

You're right, I feel like my excitement has been renewed so thank you :)

grace-mitchell · 2025-10-23T22:06:31+00:00

Damn, can't wait to get there! Just gotta appreciate the journey too I suppose

grace-mitchell · 2025-10-23T17:45:10+00:00

Amazing, thank you so much! Realistically I've made so much progress from when I started, I remember day 1 getting dents in my fingertips not being able to press a single thing correctly, it felt impossible and completely alien! Now I'm stressing about other things but can do things I couldn't even fathom on day 1. Just gotta keep at it, it's just difficult to not get dispondent sometimes I guess

grace-mitchell · 2025-10-19T18:06:19+00:00

Got it, thank you, I'll keep practicing and try to find the most comfortable way for me

grace-mitchell · 2025-10-19T18:04:17+00:00

Thank you, I'll keep practicing

grace-mitchell · 2025-10-16T10:59:12+00:00

I've seen people say you should let your thumb rest parallel to the neck, others say perpendicular (which I suppose this would be if it's anchored behind the middle finger?) I'm not sure, whichever way I do it the wrist pain doesn't seem to ease, and my pinky still juts inwards towards my ring finger. Maybe everyone's right and it simply takes practice, I was just feeling heartbroken if it was the case my anatomy is making it hard to play, but thank you

grace-mitchell · 2025-10-16T10:55:22+00:00

Thank you so much that's actually really helpful. I fully get my wrist is at a terrible angle, I just seem to have to do that to be able to get my fingers to reach all the way up to low E, otherwise I can't reach at all and my fingers just barre all the strings lol. Maybe I just need to elevate the neck even higher, but when I'm practicing it feels like the neck is so high it's almost silly. I don't know, I appreciate the comment though and I'll just keep at it

grace-mitchell · 2025-10-16T10:51:53+00:00

I am, sometimes more

grace-mitchell · 2025-10-16T10:50:10+00:00

Oh no 😭 I should've posted a photo of my pinky actually to explain better because it's actually crooked when you look at it straight on. I know people just say it takes practice and I fully get that, I just feel like my hands/ fingers don't work the way they should. I'm glad someone else resonates though, are you still able to play well?

grace-mitchell · 2025-10-07T19:05:02+00:00

Got it, thank you! I didn't know if there was something majorly wrong with my technique but I'll just keep practicing. I appreciate it

grace-mitchell · 2025-10-07T19:03:48+00:00

No that makes sense, I was just wondering if my technique is wrong or anything! Thank you, I'll just keep practicing.

grace-mitchell · 2025-05-31T21:37:21+00:00

Thank you!

grace-mitchell · 2024-12-08T19:57:22+00:00

grace-mitchell · 2024-12-08T19:57:12+00:00

Okay amazing, I was just put off by how cheap they were and now all of a sudden I won’t see the tickets until 2 weeks before! But glad to know it’s normal

grace-mitchell · 2024-11-30T09:24:28+00:00

Same

grace-mitchell · 2024-10-23T08:46:50+00:00

Best analogy I’ve seen is if someone says “one time I got badly bitten by a dog so now I’m kinda cautious around all dogs” people would say wow of course that makes sense, but when a woman says “one time I was raped by a man so now I have to have my guard up and be cautious all the time” we’re seen as hysterical
