Hi all,

Working through Lisa's courses at the moment and thoroughly enjoying it.

One thing I'm struggling with is my fingers simply won't flatten against the fret board. Say I"m playing a simple G, followed by A Minor. When playing the G, my index and middle finger are splayed out miles away from the board and I can't then place the fingers in time to keep up.

I do 5 minutes of left hand stretching and warm up at the start of every practice but I simply can't seem to flatten my fingers. Can anyone recommend any exercises that I can do to bring those fingers in??

Thanks in advance,

Pete
