Trying out chords, like you guys said.. I have big hands with long fingers, I can't do that A major, I can't fit my three fingers on the 2nd fret their too wide.. Should I just go without the chord, or any chord like this? There has to be something I can do for this.. This sounds like a dumb question, but I'm just not sure what to do about it... And if i'm being to dense, I mean I can't fit my pinky onto the 2nd fret, along with my middle and ring fingers.


A Maj is a hard one trying to squeeze em all in. some people will often barre that chord and just not play the E string. If you are not familiar with a barre, you are using your index finger to hold down the ADGBE strings then strum all but the E strings.
