Hello everyone,

I find that when fretting chords I press too hard making them sound slightly sharp. I personally don't notice but instructors and members with good ears have noticed.

I find that because the hand is in an awkward and unnatural position it seems to go tense whilst trying to hold the shape. I even get it with 5 chords (power chords) which should be relatively simple to hold.

Are there any exercises to help?

Any help would be great.

Thanks

Phil
