I use Focal Alpha 50 evos for exactly what you are talking about and it works well for me, what is your monitor budget?

I was given a bullet strat for free. Right now I pick it up every day cause it's fun, and I have been messing with different saddle heights and truss rod relief. There seems to have been some fret work done to it at some point before I got it, so as long as what you get has even frets and not sharp frets I think they are fun little guitars.

Why are you spamming firefox logo memes?

Alright, I will give that a try next time I play and see how it feels.

Like the model of the guitar?

[-] rei@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

I'm not quite sure I understand what you mean by hand is parallel to the fretboard, do you mean perpindicular, oh or do you mean parallel with the frets themselves?

I have two electrics, I have a squire strat, and a made to order G&L ASAT Classic, I will checkout that article. I have noticed my thumb going sideways, parallel with the neck which is not correct from what I've seen so I do keep having to pull it back in.

Thank you! (assuming you are a righty) Do you rest the guitar between your legs more on ur left leg, and if so do you prop your leg up with anything?

Small Hand Advice (lemmy.world)
submitted 11 months ago by rei@lemmy.world to c/guitars@lemmy.world

Hello, I am new to guitar (3 weeks) and I am practicing every day (a bit too much some days which could be exacerbating) and I have pretty small hands. I think my middle finger measures about 3 inches.

I played a lot over the past few days and my left hand (fretting hand in my case) is sore not in a good way I don't think. I kind of have to contort my hand if I am up near the head stock fretting 1 and 4.

I am not discouraged. It seems like all youtube videos just say don't give up with small hands, not exactly helpful. I'm plenty motivated and want to keep going but I don't want to injure myself.

So all that to say any advice on being able to fret well by the headstock with small hands? I also think my wrist is not in a healthy position but I can't reach my fingers far enough apart without doing some hand yoga.
