My first 3 month complete having never even picked up a guitar before.

Working through Fund 1 and 2 but jumping around seeing what is what and where

Concentrating on open chords and getting the very slow changes a tad quicker

Just got a tiny cut on the end of my first finger which makes fretting painful .

Conveniently found Christopher Schlegel tutorial on the CAGED system so was trying the chords using fingers 2,3 and 4 .

Now then.

I can usually make the barre across the frets and I find I can make the chords with the alternate fingers but there is no way I can make both together in any of the CAGED shapes

Just not enough stretch in my hand and fingers. Take it it will only get better
