guitar - Pain in index finger joint while barring - Music: Practice ...
网页2020年6月16日 · The action is as per my liking and not too high. Recently I have developed some pain in the first joint of my index finger on my left hand (fretting hand).

guitar - How not to touch neighbouring strings? - Music: Practice ...
网页2011年10月31日 · To illustrate: When I place my finger perpendicular to the board, my fingernail meet my flesh of my finger in the same horizontal line.

Should I avoid using my index finger on non-barre chords?
网页2018年6月24日 · I've noticed that, usually, barre chord shapes are just like non-barre chords but shifted. For example, the B major chord is exactly the same as A major chord shifted by 2 frets (+ using the index finger for barre). The thing is, I've learned to play the A major chord using my 1st, 2nd and 3rd fingers to push the three strings needed:
Whole finger callous - for barre chords? - Music: Practice & Theory ...
网页2011年12月31日 · It sounds like you might be pressing your finger at the wrong angle. Try rolling the index finger towards the nut (so your pinky rises away from the fretboard).

网页2019年5月3日 · For bar chords, press the middle of the finger down, instead of pressing hard with the fingertip; a slight sideways roll may also help to lessen the pressure on the joints.

网页I am currently having this exact problem so this question and answers are really helpful. Came back from vacation and played for one night (and must have forgot the correct finger pressure levels), and then suddenly got this sharp feeling in my index fret finger, kind of like a sharp needle.

health - Acoustic guitar: How to stop right index finger nail from ...
网页My nails tend to chip and crack when playing steel-string acoustic guitar. Cracking and ripping can be kept partially in-check by keeping my nails well-trimmed.

Fingers Too Short for Barre Chords? - Music: Practice & Theory …
网页2011年2月8日 · The independence is required because the index finger must hold the bar firmly while the other fingers must move freely to take care of the rest of the chord.
