Finger dexterity with the CG
by: jrldev

Hello Serge: I read your comment with interest.
I started studying the CG late in life (my 70's)
and in addition with a "handicap" anular(ring) finger in my left-fretting- hand.

At first I found it difficult to use my fretting fingers on the fret board. After trial and error and many different sizes of CG later I started to develop better finger dexterity/skills when using a shorter than 650mm scale guitar but remaining with the broad (not less than 47.7mm neck).

If you can get a short-scale guitar with the standard CG 50.8mm neck so much the better.
You did not mention what size of CG you are using
and I thought perhaps my own experience with the
hand/finger dexterity problem may be of some help.
