Guitar learning help! 'Mollys Lips' by Nirvana???

Question

... Originally sang by the Vaselines i know.

Ok, so its basically so easy because it only has two chords throughout the whole song, (easy enough for me!)

My fingers are too small and wont stretch, they hurt when i try to play, help??

Any tips?

Answer 1

Practice, practice, practice and you will get it eventually. I had the same kind of problem just play it slowly and get used to it and build up speed. :) Hope I helped.

Answer 2

The clever thing about the guitar as an instrument is that there's never just one way of playing a chord.

Because of the way the strings are tuned, you can always find about three different positions for the same chord, which will sound pretty similar to the original one.

e--3-----0-----------     That's the usual way of playing the two chords

B--0----1-----------      in Molly's Lips, the G major and C major.

G--0----0-----------

D--0----2-----------

A--2----3-----------

E--3-----------------

e-----------------  

B----------------    

G----------------    

D-(5)--(10)------  

A--5----10------

E--3-----8------

Trying doing it like the one above - same chords in theory, just not as much clarity in the higher notes.  The notes in brackets are optional - you can play them, but you don't need to.

Good luck!
