Ok so as I'm slowly learning and my fingers are getting beat up I noticed that when I am holding down one or two stings the neck of my guitar moves way too much. To a point that it throws me off. It has left me thinking what am I doing wrong? So I just took my time and really paid attention to my form. I quickly noticed that I was putting way to much of my weight on the body. I literally was treating the body of my guitar like an armrest. I couldn't' figure that out for a while and didn't that was the issue. I thought I just had to get better at moving my fingers on the frets. Now that I realized my bad form the neck doesn't move and kinda have my right arm sort of dangling over the body. Also it has made my left hand work more and I noticed that real quick.
