Hey, I'm Emily. I'm a nineteen year-old college student. I decided to make one of these things because my planned college major will be counceling of some sort.I'm not easily embarassed, so ask anything you want. No question is too personal, too strange, or on a subject that I wouldn't talk about.

I did have to choose three "favorite categories", but please don't think that my abilities are limited to them. I know some about eating disorders/body image, religion problems (I often have those myself), drug issues or questions (experience is the best teacher. . .)and, of course, I can help out with any sort of relationship with anyone.
I dabble in a little bit of everything.
I hope I can help you.

ARGH.
So I'm trying to learn guitar, but I can barely stretch a comfortable octave on the piano.
Are there any finger stretching exercises I could do to get my fingers to...you know, like, work? Lol...
I find myself using my middle finger a lot (right now I'm just working on memorizing which notes are where), so the other fingers don't really get a whole lot of streching.
I had a friend laugh out loud when he watched me play Moonlight Sonata 'cause my thumb and pinky fingers were like straight lines trying to stretch the octave.
So yeah. Small hands, wanna play guitar (electric, not acoustic...not even gonna try that), need finger stretches.
No chatspeak, please!

You're in luck. You don't need big hands to play guitar; that's just a silly rumor. To strengthen your fingers, there are little weights that you can find in music catalogs like Musician's Friend; creatively enough called finger weights. To "stretch" them out, unfortunately, you're just gonna have to practice every day. It'll get easier with time, though. Good luck.
