I think I'm about ready to quit, I cannot even get off the ground to start, and have injured my fingers and wrist multiple times with sprains. I simply cannot make chords needed to play guitar, my fingers are too short and I cannot make them space out far enough no matter how hard I force them and pull them, and my fingers are also too fat and block out the strings above and below them. Let's say for example a chord required me to have fingers on frets 1 and 4, my fingers cannot come close to reaching that far. My fingers are so short I'm having to bend the finger and place the back side of the entire finger nail on strings to hold them down. My middle finger is three inches long, the others fall in the 2 inch range on my left hand. [br][br]If my hands are the wrong size and I cannot make chords I might as well just pawn the guitar and quit. I don't know what to do at this point.
