Do you play guitar? Could anyone help dd with technique

[funtimefrank]

She is 11 and struggles to get her hand around the neck to do her chords. She is fine with scales and actual pieces but obvs chords are really important.

Her teacher tells her to hold her guitar higher but this apparently squishes her burgeoning boobs.

Can anyone suggest any good tutorials/YouTube or similar she can watch.

She's coming along really well and this is making her a bit down in the dumps. It's hard doing lessons via zoom as her teacher can't see as well as if they were in person.

Is you tube not awash with this sort of thing? Guitar goddess might be ok. Is your daughter playing electric or acoustic? Is she rocking Or more classical or folk

Alison Bennett guitar on you tube. Tends to play sat down tho

Does she have a foot rest?
Then she can place the body of he guitar between her legs, and hold the neck at a hugher angle away from her breasts.

It may be that her hands are simply not big enough to use an adult sized guitar yet. It is a tricky instrument to play for kids less than 13 or so, in terms of hand strength, span of fingers etc.

Thank you for these, will look up that YouTube person
