minor chords are a major pain in the...

fingers. I really thought my fingers were used to the strings, but I was wrong. I started the minor chords yesterday and they sure are tricky. C minor is near impossible, trying to get your pinkie finger up to the fifth string-third fret, while keeping your index and middle in the first fret, and while trying to keep your ring finger out of the way? Then you only strum strings 5-2. Seriously, who came up with that chord? Then you have F and G minor, I just can't get good pressure from my index finger across all six strings. I know, practice, practice, practice.
I might skip on to the next lesson tomorrow after practicing my chords some.
