I'm 48 and the ultimate beginner. I've started and stopped several times the last few years trying to teach myself how to play but I get very frustrated and ultimately give up. My biggest issue is that I can't get my ring and pink fingers to move away from my middle and index fingers when wrapped around the neck of the guitar. It's as if there taped together. What would be the best exercises to do to train those two fingers to move. I'm dyin' to learn how to play. I currently have a Fender Squier Strat with a Peavy 15 watt modulating amp. It sounds great. I promised myself I wouldn't get some better gear until I saw some major improvement. I'm starting with guitar tricks again from the beginning. This time I'm not Stopping!
