Been playing for 8 months now, and I think I’m gonna take the big step to getting lessons (I’m gonna be nervous as hell). I don’t know if I should take my electric or my acoustic. I want to work on barre chords so I’m leaning toward the the electric, because it’s easier to fret/play. I can’t get my ring and pinky fingers to arch enough (F chord) to stop muting the 1st and 2nd strings. I tried laying down those 2 fingers first, but then I can’t barre the index finger. Maybe I’m not ready for barres yet.
Back to the topic. The local music store wants 5 for a half hour lesson (4 lesson minimum). Does this seem reasonable?
