Question: Guitar learning help! 'Mollys Lips' by Nirvana!?!?!?
!.!.!. Originally sang by the Vaselines i know!.

Ok, so its basically so easy because it only has two chords throughout the whole song, (easy enough for me!)
My fingers are too small and wont stretch, they hurt when i try to play, help!?!?

Any tips!?Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
The clever thing about the guitar as an instrument is that there's never just one way of playing a chord!.

Because of the way the strings are tuned, you can always find about three different positions for the same chord, which will sound pretty similar to the original one!.

e--3-----0----------- That's the usual way of playing the two chords
B--0----1----------- in Molly's Lips, the G major and C major!.
G--0----0-----------
D--0----2-----------
A--2----3-----------
E--3-----------------

e-----------------
B----------------
G----------------
D-(5)--(10)------
A--5----10------
E--3-----8------

Trying doing it like the one above - same chords in theory, just not as much clarity in the higher notes!. The notes in brackets are optional - you can play them, but you don't need to!.

Good luck!Www@QuestionHome@Com

Practice, practice, practice and you will get it eventually!. I had the same kind of problem just play it slowly and get used to it and build up speed!. :) Hope I helped!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
