Reply to Beginner on electric guitar. by Goldestwing

Only best advice I can give is to put a little superglue on you fret fingers to reduce pain and rough up the grippy part of the pick (gentle pressure making notches with a nail cutter, hammer on concrete or some such). You can also use a paperclip as a plectrum to change the angle on your strumming hand so you can change angle on the fingering hand. Right thumbnail in the slot against your right index. It lets you stroke with your picking arm at 90° to the strings.

I learned to play with it laying on my lap so my fingering was wonk from the start but mostly it was motor nerve therapy and training - I get cramps very easily.

There is a tactic of getting a 12 string and stripping the second strings off which will give you a little more room between your fingerings.

Have you tried thumb-out fingering? Have you watched Alexandra Whittingham's more vertical classical position?

right... because it's "good enough" still and we've been told that for two decades and they sauce it daily. It was good enough for documents of the "secret" level... which is the level immediately above "given to the NYT for publishing"... in 2003.

Reply to TIL dunce caps were originally a sign of high intelligence and wisdom. Philosopher and theologian John Duns Scotus was a proponent of pointy hats as a way to funnel knowledge to the mind and his followers, called Dunsmen, wore them. By the 1500s the Dunsmen fell out of favor as “behind the times”. by Aequitas05

They were apparently made in the image of the hats worn by jews back around 100 and conical hats were put on people burned at the stake for heresy etc etc.

Several documentaries on youtube from major sources.
