    Sorry, I’m using an electric guitar-my question may apply: Playing the F chord, I can’t seem to press down equally with my index finger (1) on the E,B strings and middle finger(2) on G string, finger(4) D string-I’m new at this-I try to use a light touch but one finger will touch another string-basically, I can’t clear my fingers from each other. Is it because I’m a beginner?
